Achillea
moonshine * Yarrow
|
| The flat
fuzzy dissected gray green leaves of Achillea taygetea moonshine are a great show by themselves. The
pastel yellow
flowers hold for a long time and are great as dried flowers. The
Achillea moonshine foliage is about 1'
tall and gradually expands in width over the years. The flowers grow on stalks up to
24" tall. A summer repeat bloom can be encouraged by deadheading the fading
flowers. I do this 2-3 times per season. This yarrow is the result of a cross between Achillea cypeolata and Achillea
taygetea. Achillea moonshine is a nectar source for the Checkerspot
Butterfly species and is a great addition to the butterfly
garden.
