Achillea (Yarrow) 'Moonshine'

The fuchsia flowered Achillea 'Cerise Queen' has already been included in this garden, but why stop at one yarrow? Achillea 'Moonshine' is one of the most perfect yellows for any garden; softening hot colors and heating up cool ones. Here's it's growing along side the more golden Achillea 'Coronation Gold'. Just think how it will work in an arrangement.

Yarrow has the bonus effect of attracting plenty of butterflies to your garden. The wide flower head gives them a place to rest and stretch out their wings.

Achillea 'Moonshine' - Yarrow (USDA Zones 3 - 9, 18" x 24", Yellow Blooms: Repeat Bloomer)

Alternatives:

  • Achillea 'Terra Cotta' - A soft, rusty peach.

  • Achillea 'Summer Pastels'. - An assortment of pale pastel colors.
