Notes
'Lilac Beauty' yarrow (Achillea millefolium 'Lilac Beauty') is a perennial for borders, cottage gardens, pollinator gardens, and meadows. 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. This fragrant plant blooms from early to late summer and draws butterflies and bees. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. Give it room to spread 24 to 36 inches.
Pairs well with Coneflower, Shasta daisy, and Bee balm.
