Summer Berries Yarrow
Perennial
75-85 days to flower
Achillea millefolium
NATIVE Nourishing for the soil as well as the soul, Summer Berries is a lush carpet of feather-like foliage with a dreamy canopy of raspberry, peach and ivory blossoms. A hardy perennial, yarrow emerges as the snows melt and even in your first year, expect to harvest armfuls of her abundant blossoms. Her young leaves in spring we toss on salads and in all seasons the leaves are some of the finest blood-staunching first-aid around. May you enjoy Summer Berries for many years to come!

I started these from seed last year and planted in 5 places. The ones in full sun flowered the first year magnificently and the the following year all of them (including the partial shade ones) flowered beyond words.
I just wanted to make bouquets of yarrow just like the picture and I have succeeded. The pollinators love it and so do I. Makes beautiful arrangement by itself or with zinnias or lavender tucked in. Wish I could post photos because they shades are amazing!
By the seeds, you won’t be disappointed.
