Description

This millefolium is a hybrid with soft green foliage, and flowers that start off a bright salmon color, fading to terra cotta and then changing to buff. There are multi-colored blossoms on a single plant that bloom throughout summer. Yarrows propagat easily from rooted cuttings or divisions, which should be performed in the early spring or fall. Following bloom, one should dead head the plant and divide the clumps when it appears crowded.

Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.
