Gorgeous bright yellow flowers on a plant that is, like all yarrows, absolutely tough and easy to grow. _Zone 5

A low growing Yarrow to 2-2.5' with bright yellow clusters summer and fall. Deep green, ferny foliage is sweetly scented. Easy to grow in full sun, not fussy about soil, deer resistant and great as a fresh or dried cut flower (a florist favorite).

A very nice Yarrow that grows only to a maximum size of 2.5.’ The bright yellow clusters come into bloom in Summer & last well thru Fall. The foliage is a pretty, ferny, dark green & sweetly scented. Makes an excellent cut flower (and dried, too) & is much used by florists. Totally EASY, it’s drought tolerant, not fussy about soil, snail proof & deer resistant, too!
