Cultivation Advice ACHILLEA FILIPENDULINA CLOTH OF GOLD

February to June or September to October.
Sow seeds in spring or late summer undercover with warmth on the surface of fine seed compost in pots or trays. Cover seed with only a very light sprinkling of compost or vermiculite as light aids germination.
Germination averages 7-14 days at 15-20 C.
Transplant young seedlings when large enough to handle and grow in pots.
Acclimatize gradually to outdoor conditions after all danger of frost has passed.
Plant out in well-drained soil in full sun 30-40 cm apart.
