One of the tough-as-nails but oh-so-lovely Yarrows from the Tutti Frutti series in the Netherlands, bred for their compact growth, vigor, and uniformity of flowers. A.

Yarrows are valuable garden plants from the North Temperate Zone that are widely grown for the masses of flowers they bear throughout much of the summer. Their flattened flower heads introduce a fresh shape into the perennial border. Yarrows thrive in full sun and well-drained soil. They bloom from June to September. Excellent as cut flowers, fresh or dried.
