Achillea 'Moonshine' - YARROW 'MOONSHINE'
"'Moonshine' (A. clypeolata x A. 'Taygetea') is an upright, clump-forming, compact hybrid yarrow which is noted for its deeply-dissected, fern-like, aromatic, silvery to gray-green foliage and its tiny, long-lasting, bright lemon-yellow flowers which appear in dense, flattened, compound corymbs (2-3" across) throughout the summer on stiff, erect stems typically rising 1-2' tall. This plant resembles A. 'Coronation Gold' except it is much smaller and the flowers are a lighter yellow." - Missouri Botanical Garden
This cultivar flowers for very long time from midsummer through early fall. Tolerates leaner or poor soil, while overly-fertile soils can lead to flopping or a shorter lifespan. Best in sunny flower beds, xeriscapes, naturalistic design, bigger containers, traffic islands, urban landscaping, cottage gardens, butterfly gardens, and in hot, baked or dry soil.

Moonshine Yarrow is the best!
I love Moonshine Yarrow. Easy care and bountiful bright yellow blooms throughout most of the summer. I found myself with a hole in my garden that only Moonshine would fill. Being late in the spring, it was not easy to find. But there it was at a nursery in my own back yard. I received them quickly and packed with care. They are strong and thriving. I am so happy to have found this company in Indiana, where I live!
