Tolerates poor soil and drought conditions. Moderately salt tolerant. Suitable for cut and dried flowers and attracts butterflies. Mature height 18”-24”, spread 18”-24”.
Luscious apple-red and paprika colored flowers with sulfur yellow centers are among the most beautiful of all yarrows. From early to late summer, tall flower stems rise over grey-green, ferny leaves with flat heads of brightly colored blossoms. This variety blooms about a week later than A. 'Moonshine'.
Yarrow is one of the easiest perennials to grow and is a good choice for beginners. All it needs is full sun and well-drained soil. It thrives in average to poor soil and is drought tolerant once established. Plants grown in rich soil tend to be tall and floppy. After the flowers have faded, cut the plant back by half. This will likely stimulate a second flush of blooms in late summer. These plants are an excellent balance of finely textured foliage and bright flower colors. The wide, flat flower clusters are popular landing pads with pollinators.
In the right location, yarrow can spread aggressively. Plants from seed are not reliable to be true to variety. Divide every few years to keep plants to a manageable size.
