Achillea 'Summer Pastels' typically features a delightful mix of soft, muted hues, including shades of pink, peach, cream, and pale yellow.
Yarrow is a tall, drought tolerant addition to hot summer days. Yarrow is a pollinator-friendly, easy-to-grow perennial that lights up the garden. Butterflies love yarrow, while deer and rabbits tend to avoid this plant. The lovely, flat-topped flowers make perfect additions to summer bouquets.
As a companion plant Yarrow is extremely good at attracting bees and all sorts of beneficial insects, and this plant is also good at repelling undesirable insects. The foliage is also very good at helping to break down compost so a few handfuls now and then in the compost bin is beneficial.
