#ProPlantTips for Care:
Yarrow should be planted in full sun and is tolerant to hot humid summers. It can easily tolerate poor soil conditions, although it thrives in well-drained, lean, dry to medium-wet soil. To use in heavy clays and wet, rich, fertile soils, plant them in a raised bed. This hearty flower only needs occasional watering once it's established, making it a great choice for drought-tolerant and xeriscape landscapes. Considering how many butterflies Yarrow attracts, it's refreshing that these little perennials are deer and rabbit resistant! An easy-to-grow, carefree, heat-loving bloomer that will rebloom if you cut or deadhead the first round of blooms.
- Full Sun
- Moderate to Low Moisture Needs Once Established
- Widely Adaptable to Any Well-Drained Soil Type
- Deer & Rabbit Resistant
- Drought Tolerant & Firewise

Fire-Resistant Moonshine Achillea
Moonshine Achillea is a member of the Yarrow family and may be one of the most popular plants used in landscaping today. Introduced in the 1950's by world renown plantsmen Alan Bloom, Moonshine Achillea is one of the many plants the Bloom Brothers, Alan and Adrian, introduced for the incredible Bressingham Gardens in Bressingham, UK.
Thought to be a hybrid of Achillea Clypeolata and another uncertain variety of Achillea, the Moonshine Achillea is a beautiful perennial plant in the garden and also very functional. Yarrows are important plants that attract beneficial insects into the garden, thereby reducing the need for pesticides. The Moonshine Achillea, with its bold yellow and flat flowers, is particularly good for this function.
The Moonshine Achillea is considered a low water user and is recognized by the California Department of Water Resources Water Use Classification of Landscape Species (WUCOLS) list. Meaning that once established, Moonshine Achillea requires only occasional water. This plant is recommended for all drought tolerant and xeriscape landscapes.
Moonshine Achillea is on most all lists of fire-resistant plants, as are most of the Yarrows. This plant is recommended for all defensible space plantings in Firesafe Landscapes.
