Fertilising a Achillea filipendulina 'Cloth of Gold'
To support vigorous growth and the vibrant yellow blooms of Achillea filipendulina 'Cloth of Gold', fertilization is key. A balanced fertilizer, applied in early spring as new foliage appears, will provide the necessary nutrients to kickstart the growing season. A second application, just before the onset of the flowering period in early summer, will help sustain the plant's energy needs during bloom production.
Opt for a slow-release granular fertilizer to ensure a steady nutrient supply without the risk of overfeeding, which can be detrimental to the plant's health. The well-draining soil preferred by this species should be lightly turned to incorporate the fertilizer, being careful not to disturb the root system. Regular fertilization, coupled with its other care requirements, will ensure that Achillea filipendulina 'Cloth of Gold' remains a striking and robust feature in any garden setting.
