  • Description

  • Notes

This beautiful perennial can reach a height and width of 2'. It tolerates poor, dry soil. It likes heat and sun. This variety can bloom all summer and fall in some areas. It is quite hardy. The foliage looks like fern foliage. Yarrows 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.
Planting Instructions: 1. Dig a hole 2 times the width and 1 and 1/2 times the height of the container. 2. Set rootball just above ground level. 3. Mix soil with 25% amendment and %75 soil. 4. Backfill with amended soil. 5. Build basin and water.
