Achillea, Yarrow, Milfoil, Soldier's Woundwort, Staunchweed 'Pink Grapefruit'

On the positive side, this grows in a very sandy spot in dappled sun which also happens to be prime deer territory. Its early season gr...Read Moreowth is neat and the foliage is attractive.

On the less-than-wonderful side, once it gets to blooming it tends to get leggy and flop over. I tie it up with a stake at its back, and trim it for a neater look. In August it gets a big chop. It's likely best as a middle-of-the-crowd plant. The problem for me has been the sprawling and not the spreading which is easily managed. It's also easy to divide and move around.

This is my first season with this plant so I'm just watching to see what I think of it. At first I loved the bright pink flowers and the ...Read Morecontinuous blooming. But much of the lf flowers have faded (there might be 1 bright pink and the rest are just greyed out) and now they are tall enough that they are falling over and half of the stalks are laying on ground or on the plants around them and it's not very attractive. It gets water but not too much (I saw that it tends to like dry areas and yes it gets lots of sun.) I'm not sure what to do with it -- do I prune it back.to shorten the stalks? It's mid July so we'd have enough time for it to grow back some. Any suggestions would be welcomed. Thank you.

I bought Pink Grapefruit last summer. To say the least, it has certainly fluorished. It doesn't wilt or fall over quite as bad as my re...Read Mored one does, and the flowers have been non-stop both years. Flowers are a very pretty pink (starts out a definite pink that fades to light pink as the flower ages) that goes well with the delicate ferny leaves.

However, give this one some room. Mine has quadrupled in size in one year by sending out root shoots. Don't get me wrong, it's a gorgeous plant, but expecting it to stay somewhat contained was a mistake on my part. I'll be digging/splitting it probably every other year if this growth rate continues. Thus, the neutral rating.

Bottom line: If you want a prolific flowering plant to fill in a space in a larger-area garden, or a show stopper to dominate in a small garden, this plant's for you!

I bought this plant last year and am thrilled with it. I planted it on a dry, rocky slope with some lavender. It maintains a nice fluff...Read Morey base while sending up lots of beautiful pink flowers that hold their color and rebloom throughout the summer, starting in June.
