Features of Fernleaf Yarrow

Body

Large clusters of yellow flowers, 4 inches across. Strong upright stems with aromatic silvery gray foliage. Forms large clumps. Drought tolerant. Attracts butterflies, has fragrant foliage, deer and rabbit resistant, and good for cutting and drying.

Care

  • Needs full sun, and very well drained soils.
  • When put in more fertile soil they tend to flop over and will tend to spread faster and become more aggressive.
