Achillea 'Moonshine'
Moonshine Yarrow
Description
Long, straight stems with pale yellow flowers are striking on the mats of green to gray-green leaves of this plant, which are flatter and less divided than those of the Achillea millefolium. This Yarrow propagates easily from rooted cuttings or divisions which should be performed in the early spring or fall. Following bloom, one should dead head the plant and divide the clumps when it appears crowded. Introduced by Alan Bloom in the 1950's.
