My Apple Blossom Yarrow is spending its second year in my garden, and what a star! The blossom color is a lovely deep lilac and the plant blooms profusely and continuously. I don't recall that it bloomed the first year, but the wait was well worth it. If it becomes invasive and out of control, great! It's gorgeous! My plant gets full sun from 9 am to 3 pm. This one plant has prompted me to go out and buy many other yarrow varieties! Planted between a pink Queen Elizabeth and a pink New Zealand rose bush......a true showstopper!
