Moonshine Common Yarrow
Achillea ‘Moonshine’
Moonshine Common Yarrow is a stunning and resilient perennial, celebrated for its striking contrast of silvery-gray foliage and vibrant, lemon-yellow flower clusters. It forms a low, spreading mat of finely dissected, fern-like leaves that are highly aromatic. Throughout the summer, it sends up strong, upright stems topped with large, flat-topped clusters of bright yellow flowers that seem to glow in the garden. Exceptionally drought-tolerant, heat-loving, and low-maintenance, it is a must-have for adding long-lasting color and texture to sunny borders, xeriscapes, and pollinator gardens.

Vivid Lemon-Yellow Flower Clusters: Produces large, flat, plate-like umbels of bright yellow flowers that are excellent for cutting and drying.
-
Aromatic Silvery-Gray Foliage: Forms a beautiful, low mat of feathery, silver-green leaves that provide interest even when not in bloom.
-
Extremely Drought and Heat Tolerant: Thrives in hot, dry, poor soils where many other perennials fail.
-
Attracts Pollinators: The flowers are a magnet for butterflies, bees, and other beneficial insects.
-
Long Blooming and Low Maintenance: Flowers from early to late summer with minimal care; deadheading encourages repeat blooming.
