Yarrow – Mixed Colors (Achillea millefolium)

Easy to grow in any sunny situation, even where there is poor soil. Forms low mounds of fragrant ferny foliage, with clusters of flowers. Colors: salmon, yellow, white, pink, cherry red, cream, lavender, apricot, rose and in-between.  You will be surprised.  Each pot may contain more than 1 plant, so each pot could be any combination of these colors.

Good for cutting, fresh or dried. Remove spent flowers to promote more buds. Inclined to spread, so site this carefully or plan to reduce the clumps each spring. Easily divided in fall or early spring. Drought and heat tolerant. Blooms early to late summer. Tolerates poor soils and drought. Prefers full sun.
