Overview

Yarrow (Achillea x taygetea) is a perennial herb prized for its hardiness and resilience. It typically reaches 2-3 feet in height with fern-like foliage and clusters of small, daisy-like flowers in shades of pink, red, yellow, or white. Blooms from early summer to fall. Thrives in full sun and well-drained soil; drought-tolerant once established. Ideal for borders, rock gardens, and as a ground cover. Attracts pollinators and resists deer.
