Summer Pastels Yarrow

Common name: Summer Pastels Yarrow
Botanical name: Achillea millefolium 'Summer Pastels'

This Achillea features spreading mats of fern-like rosettes, along with deeply divided, fern-like, green leaves. Pale pink and white flowers bloom in summer; this is a great plant for cut flower arrangements. Yarrow propagate easily from rooted cuttings or division, which should be performed in the early spring or fall. Following bloom, one should dead head the plant and divide the clumps when it appears crowded. This plant reaches 2' tall and 1' wide. It does best in full sun with well draining soil. It's great for erosion control and difficult hillside situations. It attracts butterflies but is deer resistant.
