About the Yarrow -
Coronation Gold :
The Yarrow, ‘Coronation Gold’ , Achillea
ageratifolia, is an upright golden-yellow flowered
Yarrow that blooms from June through September,
providing excellent color throughout the summer
months. With fern-like aromatic, silvery to
gray-green foliage, it is considered to be one of
the best yarrows in any landscape. The foliage has a
somewhat strong, spicy aroma, which persists when
used in dried arrangements. The flower heads are
3-4” wide, with a spread of 18-24” and a height of
42”.
‘Coronation Gold’ has good texture and form and
looks great in mass plantings and cottage gardens.
This Yarrow does well in average garden soils, but
prefers 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.
