Achillea filipendulina is a hardy plant that can handle just any about weather, from cold and warm temperatures and drought conditions. This perennial is low maintenance, and once it is established, it does not require much attention.

Feature the Moonshine Yarrow in beds, borders, mass plantings, or containers. This plant has an upright growth habit, and it is a vigorous grower that can easily take over a space. Pollinators are attracted to the fragrant blooms, but foraging animals tend to keep away.

Moonshine Yarrow Care

This plant is drought-tolerant once established but keep up with watering until it feels at home. Soil should be rich, dry to medium, and well-drained. Yarrow is a vigorous grower without fertilizer, and feeding this plant may cause it to become invasive, so avoid fertilizing this perennial.

Remove spent blooms to encourage the plant to rebloom during the summer. Deadheading the plant will also prevent the plant from self-seeding. Prune the Yarrow after the flowers die back to maintain the size.
