If i am correct this the plant very common in hilly areas wild. I did not see it much in murree but it was common in Shogran and Kaghan valley. I had always thought they are good for hilly areas.

These are the 7 Achillea summer berries Plants grown from seed, sown in Oct End, Germination was ordinary.Seeds were from T & M, rather they sent two packets writing that there are complains about germination so we are sending two packets. Those tried in summers failed may be due to transplanting, don't remember exactly

These are about 8 inches in height but getting thicker laterally. . Seeing your plant picture it appears that they should be flowering sooner...what do you say?????
