Description

Yarrow takes on many forms in its expansive range around the Northern Hemisphere. Forms vary in flower size and color, leaf size, and overall height. All share the same basic characteristics that make yarrow such a popular garden subject. The ‘Sonoma Coast’ selection is somewhat compact. The flowers rise only about a foot over the foliage. The abundant flower umbels are bright white and densely bunched. It is adaptable to a variety of growing sites, but will grow most luxuriously in partial shade and regular water. In most natural settings, yarrow goes entirely dormant in the summer but this can be avoided with regular water. Remove the spent flower heads for a cleaner appearance.
