Description

Don’t let this mounded, compact grower fool you: 'Marshmallow' Yarrow tough, excelling in dry to average gardens and growing where salty soils, sandy soils, or those with low fertility hold other plants back. Thanks to slender, deep green leaves and a dense form, these plants are attractive spring through fall and are adorned with generous crops of frilly, pom-pom like flowers for months in summer. The flowers of 'Marshmallow' Yarrow make excellent cut flowers and dry well. A great pick for gardeners in most of the US; those in hotter dryer areas, like the Southwest, should site this plant in sites with average or greater moisture, while those in moister locales, like the Midwest, should site this plant in drier spots.

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.
