Garden Layout - Plants - Achillea

This is Achillea 'Moonshine', a plant Mrs Taz brought home from a friend's garden as a cutting some years ago. The lovely silvery-green foliage emerges from what looks like a dead stick in mid-spring, and by July, it is in flower with bunches of tiny pale-yellow blooms.
It grows to about a metre high, with a spread of about 600mm. I'd always understood that silver foliage was indicative of sun-worshippers, but this achillea copes resonably well with the intermittent shade in its current position between the buddleia and the honeysuckle, but it does appreciate a good feed and watering in the dry weather.
