ACHILLEA ANTHEA - Med. 30" - Plant 16" apart. zone 4-8. Outstanding flower color - pale yellow fading to a creamy yellow and new 3" clusters constantly coming on. Long blooming, and when the flowers fade, the plants can be cut back by half encouraging another period of bloom. Shimmering silver foliage stays attractive in all weather. Named for the daughter of Allan Bloom. A Blooms of Bressingham selection.
General Information:
Achillea hybrids flower from summer to early fall. Irresistible to butterflies. Excellent fresh cut flowers or dried. Tolerant of drought, wind and heat. Grows well in almost any soil type. Spreads to fill in, so give them room.

It has a nice grey ferny foliage and nice soft yellow blooms. This plant grows into a nice clump. It is much more desirable than Achillea millifolium which can become so invasive.
I have found Yarrow drought tolerant and cold tolerant as well. I live in Northern Maine, and my Yarrow gets better each year. The snow cover (from late November to Mid-April) does a great job insulating my plants. I dry the flowers to use on wreaths. At this time I have several colors, from a deep yellow to medium pink to white and pale pinks. I understand there is a red Yarrow, but I have not been fortunate enough to find it.
