Notes

'Pink Grapefruit' yarrow (Achillea millefolium 'Pink Grapefruit') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, pollinator gardens, and cottage 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 blooms from early to late summer and draws butterflies and bees. The fragrant flowers last in a vase. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits.

Pairs well with Munstead lavender, Frosted Curls sedge, Hardy geranium, and Garden phlox.
