Achilleas are traditional border flowers valued for their feathery foliage and striking flat, flowerheads which are carried through summer. They team well with other perennial flowers and are a useful for a traditional herbaceous border. They also look well in island beds, and other perennial planting schemes. The variety 'Moonshine' has grey-green foliage and light yellow flowers that are attractive to bees. The plants spread slowly into sizeable clumps without becoming invasive. The Royal Horticultural Society have given it the Award of Garden Merit (AGM).
