A vast improvement over older selections, this fantastic Achillea, New Vintage Violet Yarrow, brings purple-red flowers that mature to attractive shades of lilac instead of fading to brown like other varieties. With excellent rebloom and a tidy, tight habit, it is superior for containers and the garden. Flowers appear for a long time from late spring into fall.

Yarrow are easy-to-grow plants that thrive in high heat and humidity. They are deer-resistant. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and other pollinators adore their nectar. Yarrow makes beautiful fresh-cut flowers and dried flower bouquets.

Plant in full sun. Although tolerant of many soils and drought, for best results, plant in soil that has been amended with compost and give deep soakings. Adding a starter fertilizer or a light application of liquid fertilizer when planting will boost root growth.
