Notes
'Favorite Berries' yarrow (Achillea millefolium 'Favorite Berries') is a perennial for borders, cottage gardens, rock gardens, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 2, or down to -50°F (-46°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to wet, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. Its feathery, grey-green leaves smell aromatic, and the flat flower clusters draw butterflies and bees. It can also stand in as a lawn alternative. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits.
Pairs well with Red Wings moss phlox, Red fescue, and Shrubby cinquefoil.
