Achillea

Yarrow

Legend has it that Achilles used this plant to heal his soldiers’ wounds after battle. As a folk remedy, its leaves are prescribed to soothe abrasions and toothache. We find this sturdy, dependable plant the perfect remedy for many design situations. The broad, flat flower heads enhance horizontal elements, their colors blending with other perennials. Spicy smelling, fernlike foliage and strong straight stems add to overall attractiveness. Spreading and drought tolerant, Yarrow seems to thrive on neglect, can handle ocean spray and will bloom again in the fall if cut back in midsummer.

Achillea ‘Hoffnung’ 

We are proud to offer this stalwart old favorite. For years, ‘Hoffnung’ has proven itself to be a strong performer, faithfully producing fine textured, feathery green, millefolium foliage and apricot-colored flowers that fade to a sandstone buff. Pair it with Lavandula ‘Imperial Gem’ for complementary bloom color.

Blooms July–September.

Size: 2' high x 2' wide; hardy to zone 4.
