Achillea Moonshine Yarrow

Achillea ‘Moonshine’ (Moonshine Yarrow)
Moonshine Yarrow is a problem‑solving perennial for hot, dry, low‑maintenance areas where other plants struggle. Its bright canary yellow flower clusters and soft silver foliage thrive in full sun, making it ideal for replacing thirsty lawn areas, brightening borders, and anchoring xeriscape designs. Blooming begins in early summer, and plants will re‑bloom after trimming for extended color.

Key Features
• Flat‑topped, canary yellow flower clusters
• Silver‑toned foliage for season‑long contrast
• Clump‑forming habit with extended bloom time
