About the Yarrow -
Moonshine :
The Yarrow ‘Moonshine’, Achillea 'Moonshine'’, is
an upright canary-yellow flower that blooms from
June through September. With evergreen foliage in
mild winter regions, this non-spreading Achillea is
a definite winner. ‘Moonshine’ Yarrow is unlike the
common Yarrow, being shorter in height and less
invasive. The flower heads are 4” wide, with a
spread of 18-24” and a height of 24”. ‘Moonshine’
Yarrow is a great addition to a sunny perennial
border, planted in pots or combined with ornamental
grasses.
‘Moonshine’ Yarrow can tolerate poor soil
conditions, but does best in lean, dry to medium
wet, well-drained soil. (Avoid heavy clays and
moist, rich, fertile soils.) Yarrow should be
planted in full sun and is tolerant to hot humid
summers. Remove faded flowers to encourage more
growth and divide every 3-4 years. For an attraction
to butterflies, deer and rabbit resistant, one can’t
go wrong with this plant.
