Achillea Anthea ('Anblo')

Anthea Achillea

Achillea ‘Anthea’ (syn. ‘Anblo’) is a graceful, long-blooming perennial yarrow valued for its soft primrose-yellow flowers and refined habit. Broad, flat-topped flower clusters are held on sturdy stems above finely textured, aromatic gray-green foliage, giving the plant a light, elegant presence in the garden.

Blooming from early to mid-summer, and often extending with deadheading, ‘Anthea’ offers a softer color palette than many bright yellow yarrows, blending beautifully with pastels and cottage-style plantings. It forms a tidy clump and maintains good structure without flopping.

Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, it is heat and drought tolerant once established and performs best in lean soils. Hardy in USDA Zones 4–8, it is also deer resistant and pollinator friendly.

Height: 24–30 in
