Achillea
‘Sawa Sawa’
at Digging Dog
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 ‘Sawa Sawa’ 
An attractive gray-green foundation of airy, fine
textured foliage furnishes russet-tinted buds, which
are held in dense, flat flower heads. Eventually paling
to soft yellow, the earthy orange hues turn on the
heat for Campanula ‘Prichard’s Variety’s cool violet-blues in our garden.
Blooms July–September. Size: 2-1/2' high x 2' wide; hardy to zone 4. Achillea Sawa Sawa (p-0891)
