Achillea x ‘Coronation Gold’ at Digging Dog
Yarrow
Legend has it that Achilles used this plant to heal
his soldiers’ wounds after battle. As a folk
remedy, its leaves are prescribed to soothe abrasions
and toothache. We find this sturdy, dependable plant
the perfect remedy for many design situations. The broad, flat flower heads enhance horizontal elements, their colors blending with other perennials. Spicy smelling, fernlike foliage and strong
straight stems add to overall attractiveness. Spreading
and drought tolerant, Yarrow seems to thrive on
neglect, can handle ocean spray and will bloom again in
the fall if cut back in midsummer. Achillea x ‘Coronation Gold’
Throughout the summer, gray-green filigree
textured foliage anticipates the autumn reveille. Planted
in drifts, the flower heads, composed of tight clusters
of tiny florets, form bold slabs of gold, a timely
reflection of the harvest moon. Contrast this tall
growing Yarrow with Eupatorium purpureum.
Blooms June–July. Size: 3' high x 2' wide; hardy to zone 4. Achillea x Coronation Gold (P-0002) Each $6.00
