Hailing from the distinguished Asteraceae family, this compact plant manifests its versatility in a striking foliage of singular silver-green color and intriguing wooly texture, reaching an impressive 8-10 inches in height. As the summer sun graces your garden, the Yarrow unfurls clusters of vivid yellow flowers, creating a contrast against its silver-green leaves so breathtaking that it's almost theatrical. But these blossoms do more than just beautify - they're a beacon for an array of pollinators, including bees and butterflies. Remarkably resilient, the Wooly Yarrow thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, demonstrating a level of drought tolerance that makes it a prime choice for rock gardens, border fronts, and xeric landscapes. Yet for all its robustness, it maintains a softness - its foliage emits a fragrant, herbal aroma known for its therapeutic qualities.
