Yarrow flower

Yarrow flower

Yarrow plants can reach 3' in height with a spread about 2'. These perennials are known for their feathery, fern-like fragrant foliage, and flattened flower clusters. Blooming occurs June-September. Flowers come in a variety of colors, including white, yellow, pink or red.
Yarrow plants should be staked, or else you may find the stems flopped down on the ground after high winds. Trim plants back after flowering to encourage additional blooms. Dividing every other year or so promotes good air circulation, cutting down on problems with powdery mildew.
