A vital ingredient of herbaceous borders, cottage gardens, meadows, or prairies, this Yarrow typically blooms for weeks from late spring to late summer in a beautiful color display. Paired with flamboyant crocosmia, daylilies, or the ice-cool blue salvia, it creates eye-catching plant combinations and enlivens any sunny corner of your garden!

• Easy care, drought, heat, humidity, deer and rabbit tolerant, this Achillea is a perennial that is rich in many qualities aside from its good looks!
• Grows up to 2 feet tall (60 cm) in an upright clump of cheerful lemon-yellow flowers over the finely cut evergreen foliage.

• Yarrows are a must if you are trying to attract butterflies!
• Deadheading will extend the bloom season. Cutting back after initial flowering will promote a rebloom.

Achillea, commonly known as Yarrow, belongs to the Asteraceae family, which also includes asters, chrysanthemums, and sunflowers. The genus was named after Achilles, the hero of the Trojan Wars in Greek mythology, who used the plant to stop the bleeding and heal the wounds of his soldiers. Achillea millefolium (Common Yarrow) is native to most of Europe and temperate parts of Western Asia. Brightening the garden throughout the summer, this perennial plant is versatile, easy to propagate, and available in a wide range of sizes and colors.
