About this plant
Achillea x 'Moonshine' is a standout cultivar celebrated for its bright, sulfur-yellow flower clusters that persist from late spring through summer. These cheerful blooms are held aloft on sturdy stems, creating a striking visual impact in any garden. Its fine, feathery, silver-green foliage is also highly aromatic, adding another layer of sensory appeal. This robust and easy-to-grow perennial is exceptionally drought-tolerant once established, making it a low-maintenance choice for sunny borders, rock gardens, and naturalized areas. Its upright habit and long-lasting flowers also make it an excellent candidate for cut flower arrangements, bringing a touch of sunshine indoors. 'Moonshine' Yarrow thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, tolerating a wide range of conditions. It's a fantastic pollinator magnet, attracting bees and butterflies, while its deer and rabbit resistance ensures its beauty remains undisturbed.
Care & maintenance
Requires minimal care once established. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage reblooming and maintain a tidy appearance. Divide clumps every 3-5 years in spring to rejuvenate the plant. Avoid overwatering, especially in heavy soils, to prevent root rot.
