Pure white flower clusters over compact ferny foliage. Excellent for cutting, fresh or dried. Remove faded flowers regularly to promote continued blooming.

Whether you’re a lazy gardener or a botanical overachiever, Yarrow’s got your back. Plant it once, forget it forever, and enjoy the drama-free beauty.

So named because Achilles allegedly used this plant to speed his wounded soldiers’ healing during the Trojan War, Yarrow has historically been prized for its anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and astringent properties both in European folk medicine and indigenous North America.

Achillea is drought-tolerant and deer-resistant, and blooms with lacy, flat caps of flowers for much of the summer.

Pros

  • Yarrows come in a wide range of colors... you can mix them all together and get a pastel wonder.
  • Great cut flowers
  • Unique peppery, sharp smell that isn't unpleasant (except to deer and rabbits).  It's also an insect repellant

    		•

    Cons

  • Will not tolerate shade
  • Susceptible to Powdery Mildew (Water the soil instead of the foliage and give them space to grow for air flow to help prevent disease.)

    Limited Availability

    We try very hard to source exactly what you’d like, but sometimes growers run out of plants! While this variety is a great deal at the price shown, we know that it has limited availability. If you want the plant even if it might be more expensive, or in a different size or quantity -- after you place your order, just send us a quick note at help@northshoreplantclub.com. Then, we’ll try to get you some version of this from one of our growers. And if we can’t get it from anywhere, of course, we’ll send a refund!


    Field-Grown vs. Greenhouse-Grown Plants

    Plants which are well-adapted to our local climate are most often field-grown (outside). Field-grown plants are generally cheaper and have the advantage of already somewhat acclimated to our cold winters, but that means they’re not artificially far along in the spring and tend to bloom at the normal time in our area.

    Spring annuals and tender perennials are typically grown in Greenhouses so they can be ready and luxurious exactly when customers want them. Some perennials are also “forced” into early bloom in greenhouses. In May, there can be a very big difference between field-grown and greenhouse-grown plants of the same type. The latter typically look good right away (so they’re a great choice where that’s important), but we typically pay a premium for it.

    We order from a rotating cast of the best nurseries in the Great Lakes region. It looks like we've offered this plant in the past, but the nurseries we're working with this week don't appear to have it in stock at the moment.

    Our goal is to bring as many plants together under "one roof" as possible, so we'll try hard to make it available again in the future!
