Notes

'Desert Eve Yellow' yarrow (Achillea 'Desert Eve Yellow') is a perennial for border plantings and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. Butterflies and bees visit the fragrant blooms in spring and summer. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. It grows 12 to 24 inches tall and tolerates drought.
