Distinctively colored, this Achillea produces large clusters of salmon pink flowers, with shades from light apricot to rose red that fade to a light greyed-orange, atop a clump of finely textured, green foliage. Consistent blooms from early to midsummer.
Yarrow thrives in average to poor, well-drained soil. Planted in too rich soil, plants have a tendency to be tall and floppy. Tolerant of humidity, heat and drought, after the flowers have faded, pruning the plant back by half should awaken additional blooms for late summer. In the right location, yarrow can spread aggressively. Plants from seed are not reliable to be true to variety. Divide every few years to keep plants to a manageable size.
Hardy herbaceous perennials, yarrows are one of the easiest perennials to grow and a good choice for beginners.
Excellent as a border plant, in containers or for cut and dried flowers, in mass plantings, and Salt Tolerant. Attracts butterflies, Deer and Rabbit resistant.
