Notes
'Appleblossom' yarrow (Achillea millefolium 'Appleblossom') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, pollinator gardens, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to wet, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It grows fast to about 24 inches tall and wide, and butterflies and bees visit the fragrant blooms. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal.
Pairs well with Globe thistle, Mediterranean sea holly, and Orange daylily.
