Tiny, long-lasting canary yellow flower clusters and bright silver foliage that light up the garden makes 'Moonshine' one of the most popular garden plants today. Similar to A. 'Coronation Gold', except for its much smaller size and lighter yellow flowers.
This form of Achillea is clump forming and is not invasive like the species. Flowers bloom over a long period beginning in early summer. Subsequent blooms will be enhanced if plants are cut back after the first round of flowering.
Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit 1993
Yarrow thrives in average to poor, well-drained soil. Planted in too rich soil, plants have a tendency to be tall and floppy. Tolerant of humidity, heat and drought, after the flowers have faded, pruning the plant back by half should awaken additional blooms for late summer. In the right location, yarrow can spread aggressively. Plants from seed are not reliable to be true to variety. Divide every few years to keep plants to a manageable size.
Hardy herbaceous perennials, yarrows are one of the easiest perennials to grow and a good choice for beginners.
Excellent as a border plant, in containers or for cut and dried flowers, in mass plantings, and salt tolerant. Attracts butterflies, Deer and Rabbit resistant.
