Add item to quote to see pricing

Achillea millefolium 'Crackadoo' is a visual standout in any garden with its dazzling display of yellow-orange, red, and pink flower clusters. Borne atop an elegant perennial that reaches up to 2-3 feet in height, these striking blooms exude an energetic radiance that captivates from early summer through to fall. The 'Crackadoo' Common Yarrow doesn't just rely on its blossoms for appeal; its finely dissected, feathery foliage - a pleasing gray-green hue - is redolent with a unique aroma, adding an additional sensory layer to its garden presence. Despite its delicate appearance, this gem from the Asteraceae family demonstrates robust resilience, thriving in full sun and well-drained soil conditions. Its low water requirement, coupled with its drought resistance once established, makes it an ideal solution for areas with arduous sun exposure or limited irrigation. On top of that, its inherent wildlife attraction brings additional activity to your landscape through the butterflies it draws. At the same time, its deer resistance represents a nature-inspired utility. Whether your garden favors a rock, border, or cottage-style landscape, the addition of 'Crackadoo', with its vivid floral display and hardy disposition, is a smart, fresh choice.
