Notes
'Apricot Delight' yarrow (Achillea millefolium 'Apricot Delight') is a perennial for borders, cottage gardens, cut flowers, and pollinator 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 is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. It blooms from early to late summer, and butterflies and bees visit the fragrant flowers. It also tolerates drought and salt.
Pairs well with Caradonna sage, Sea holly, Silver feather grass, and Drumstick onion.
