Yarrow
Achillea
Description:
Achillea is a joy to the gardener for its undemanding
adaptive nature and its eagerness to perform abundantly throughout the summer. The
foliage is fern-like and aromatic. Keeping this plant out of heavy moist soils,
dividing every 2 years and removing the spent flowers assures months of continuous color.
