Achillea millefolium - Rosey Yarrow

Description

This perennial is a pink flowering form of the native Yarrow. The attractive fern like leaves make a terrific ground cover for the dry, sunny garden, and it can be used as a lawn substitute. The small, daisy like flowers are held in clusters on stalks 1' to 2' high. The flower clusters are quite attractive to people and beneficial insects alike. Though drought tolerant, Yarrow will spread rapidly via underground runners if given water regularly. This perennial is fairly deer resistant.
