A very pretty yarrow. I love the color. The mounds of foliage are beautiful. However, it spreads very rapidly in rich soil. It grew by 10x over the course of a year. Spread is easy to control by dividing. There aren't pesky runners or deep roots that would make it difficult to eliminate. It's a great filler for a new garden.

This plant likes full sun and a welldrained soil.It is very frost hardy and spreads rapidly and it can become invasive. Grows to 1 metre tall. Great for borders and rock gardens. pokerboy.

This perennial has been reliable and I love the fern-like foliage. However, the flowers flop over unless staked. Blooms much later than my yellow or white yarrow.
