About the Yarrow -
Appleblossom :
The Yarrow ‘Appleblossom’ , 'Apfelblute' or
Achillea millefolium, is an upright soft pink
flower. ‘Appleblossom’ blends well with other
perennial flowers that exhibit floral colors such as
white, pink, lavender, blue, and purple. With the
fern-like foliage, this Yarrow has an aromatic smell
when crushed and makes excellent cut and dried
arrangements. The flower heads are 2-3” wide, with a
spread of 18-24” and a height of 24”.
‘Appleblossom’ Yarrow is excellent for mass
planting in perennial borders, wild gardens or
meadow gardens. It is inclined to spread, so site
this carefully. This Yarrow can tolerate poor soil
conditions, but does best in lean, dry to medium
wet, well-drained soil. (Avoid heavy clays and
moist, rich, fertile soils.) Yarrow should be
planted in full sun and is tolerant to hot humid
summers. Remove faded flowers to encourage more
growth and divide every 3-4 years. For an attraction
to butterflies, deer and rabbit resistant, one can’t
go wrong with this plant.
