Notes
'Sassy Summer Lemon' yarrow (Achillea millefolium 'Sassy Summer Lemon') 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 soil of most types. It blooms from early to late summer and draws butterflies and bees. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Give it room, since it can spread up to 47 inches.
Pairs well with Coneflower, Shasta daisy, and Bee balm.
