Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Achillea 'Apricot Delight' has large, flat-topped flower clusters in various shades of pink from apricot to near red, rising up to 24 inches on tall, strong stems above a low mound of highly dissected, aromatic, fern-like foliage. Yarrow can be sheared back hard after the first bloom to keep the plants clean and encourage reblooming. Easy care for the border, cottage, rock or meadow gardens. Valued in bouquets and dried floral arrangements. Great for pollinators, especially bees and butterflies, and for hot, sunny spots. Deer and rabbit resistant.
