I have several various achilleas and if they just wouldn'f fade so, they would be all the more stunning. I have one called Fireland,a magenta called one, and a pale pink one.

I like yarrow because it will thrive in the nasty clay soil I have here.

It thrives here in my sand. I have white and pink and love it because it spreads to fill empty spots.

Poppysue, do you think this one would grow up here in my Zone 3? Does it come true from seed. I really like that primrose yellow color.

I have this one in the crapiest soil you could imagine... and it still does okay. I'd imagine it would do okay anywhere. I'm not sure how the seeds will turn out because it's a named cultivar. They may not come true...

I once had a soft yellow yarrow among my mixes of millifolium, but it disappeared one year. I tried to make it happy with bad soil, but alas... If you ever want to do a live plant trade, let me know, Poppysue. I've got tables full of perennials in pots.
