Water
Water consistently, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Avoid waterlogged conditions, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering in cooler months when growth slows.
Ensure good drainage to prevent issues.

Deadhead spent flower stalks to encourage further blooming and maintain a tidy appearance. In late autumn or early spring, cut back old growth by about one-third to promote vigorous new shoots and prevent flopping.
Easily propagated from seed sown in spring or autumn. Divisions of established clumps can be made in early spring. Cuttings can also be taken in late spring or early summer and rooted in moist, well-draining soil.
Achillea clypeolata generally does not require frequent repotting and prefers to be slightly pot-bound. If repotting is necessary, do so in early spring before new growth emerges, using a free-draining potting mix.
