How to Care for the Plant

Water
Water only occasionally.
Pruning
Achillea require no pruning or attention and are generally pest free. Ideally to prolong flowering Achillea should be dead headed, but it is tempting to leave the flowers on the plant, because they look so good as they fade.
Fertilizer
Dead-head regularly to extend flowering period. Staking is seldom necessary, except for very tall varieties in exposed areas. Cut down to ground level in the autumn. Alternatively, you can leave the seed heads over-winter to form an architectural effect, then cut back in early Spring.
