By referring to the USDA zone info for Jordan it's possible to figure out when to plant achillea.

When to plant:	Up to 7 weeks before last frost.

Achillea do well in quite a bit of cold which tells us that you can plant them quite a bit earlier in the year than plants that are more sensitive to the cold.

The earliest that you can plant achillea in Jordan is March. However, you really should wait until April if you don't want to take any chances.

The last month that you can plant achillea and expect a good harvest is probably August. You probably don't want to wait any later than that or else your achillea may not have a chance to fully mature. Starting your achillea indoors is a great way to get them started a few weeks earlier.
