Yarrow Perennials: Reliable Color, Ferny Texture, Pollinator Magnet

Yarrow (Achillea) delivers flat-topped flower clusters on ferny foliage from early summer through fall. Three main types: Fernleaf (A. filipendulina)—yellow blooms, 3-4 ft, excellent cut/dried flowers. Common (A. millefolium)—white to red, darker foliage, widespread hardiness. Hybrids—expanded color range (Cerise Queen, Gold Plate), compact habits.

Design Strategies

Plant in masses for impact. Tall varieties anchor bed backs; shorter hybrids edge fronts. Full sun and well-drained soil are non-negotiable. Deadhead for rebloom. Divide every 2-3 years to maintain vigor. Yarrow's drought tolerance and pollinator appeal make it a sustainable garden workhorse.
