NEW, super pretty, and seriously garden worthy! This lovely, evergreen yarrow remains a tidy 18”x24”, perfect for any gardening scheme no matter how small the area. From dry garden to cottage garden, sidewalk strip to patio container you will definitely want to find space for this winner! Flowering Spring thru Fall with 3-4” flat-topped romantic rosy pink umbels that bob above ferny blue-green fragrant foliage, providing a major magnet for butterflies, bees and other pollinators. It can take hot, like really hot, climates and just about any soil, including clay. It’s best to acclimate it with regular water for the first growing season but after that it will be drought tolerant (though it’s prettiest with low water rather than no water). Easy to grow, easy to care for and deadheading will encourage lovely, vase-worthy blooms for a loooong season! Added bonus? Deer and rabbit resistant!
