Notes
Siberian yarrow (Achillea ptarmicoides) is a perennial. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun to part shade and dry to moist soil. It blooms with white flowers from early to late summer and again in early autumn. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. It grows 12 to 30 inches tall and spreads 24 to 60 inches, so give it room.
Pairs well with Blue mistflower, Bush honeysuckle, and Gladiolus.
