Common Name: |
Yarrow |
Fluffy, rounded puffs of white flower-heads, this upright/mounding, button-like shaped perennial earns its name Peter Cottontail! Blooming from Summer-Fall, for best quality enjoys being planted in full sun. Hardy as it is small and bountiful, it keeps gardeners happy with its tolerant conditions of deer, heat, drought, rabbit, and humidity resistance.
Achillea, known as Yarrow is a beautiful evergreen perennial with highly aromatic, lacy, feathery, fern-like leaves and long-blooming flat-topped flowers that are a perfect landing spot for bees and butterflies. Yarrow comes in array of gorgeous colors, is easy to grow, deer resistant, drought tolerant and makes an excellent cut flower, fresh or for dried arrangements. The compact varieties can be used as a ground cover and can even be mowed as a lawn replacement. A beautiful addition to any landscape and a very important plant for attracting pollinators!
