Small young plant that withstands drought well. A lovely colour, which is enjoyed even more when cutting off the faded flowers.

Description

The Velvet hybrid yarrow has rose fuchsia flower heads. It is an excellent ground cover in a sunny rock garden or a flower meadow.

Yarrows are hardy herbaceous perennials. They are also known as carpenter's weed or St. John's herb.

They have a lovely semi-evergreen fine greyish foliage.

Very beautiful in fresh or dried bouquets.
