Achillea – Golden Yarrow
$3.99
A perennial with cut foliage that produces clusters of yellow-canary domed flowers. Drought tolerant, it grows well in dry areas and is therefore a good choice in landscapes where you want to reduce watering. In the garden, it repels aphids and attracts ladybugs. The marjoram-flavored leaves can be used to flavor dishes and the flowers can be used as an infusion. Hardiness zone: 3.
