Description

4" tall x 18" wide (cutting propagated). This low growing "yarrow" is at home in the rock garden or perennial border when used as a ground cover or edging plant. A reliably heavy bloomer, it covers itself with bright clusters of small white flowers for weeks in the late spring. Its' dense gray-green foliage is mat-like and ever (particularly in milder climates), giving the plant season-long interest. Recommended planting companions include Pink Armeria maritima 'Compactum' and Blue Penstemon virens. 

Planting & Care

Tips On Growing Achillea (Yarrow)

Achillea (Yarrow) are long-blooming, Old World perennials that are exceptionally easy-to-grow and provide ample nectar for butterflies. They are resistant to browsing rabbits and deer. Most are tall, upright growers with the exception of evergreen Achillea ageratifolia (Greek yarrow) and Achillea millifolium
‘Sonoma Coast,' which are groundcovers.

Preferred growing conditions:

  • These perennials grow in most any type of soil including clay.
  • Should be mulched in dry climates with most any type of mulch materials including gravel in xeric plantings.
  • Only requires deep but infrequent watering after their second growing season. Too much water makes them floppy.
  • Plant in full, hot sun.
  • Adding just a few handfuls of compost and Yum Yum Mix in the planting hole is enough. Avoid planting into a rich, highly-amended soil; they don't need it and it can make them floppy.
