Notes

'Balvinolet' yarrow (Achillea millefolium 'Balvinolet') is a perennial for borders, cottage gardens, pollinator gardens, and meadows. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to wet, sandy or loamy soil. It blooms from early to late summer and draws butterflies and bees. The fragrant flowers stand on erect stems up to 24 inches tall. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal.

Pairs well with Blue sage, Blue grama, and Gladiator ornamental onion.
