Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.

  • Description

  • Notes

Anthea Yarrow is an upright, clump-forming, compact hybrid yarrow noted for its deeply-dissected, fern-like, aromatic, silvery-gray foliage and its clusters of long-lasting, pale yellow flowers which appear in dense, flattened, umbels throughout the summer. Flower stems are stiff and rise 1 to 2 feet tall. 'Anthea' is very similar to its A. 'Moonshine' parent, except it is more upright, has paler yellow flowers and has better resistance to foliar diseases. Plant grows to about 2 feet tall and 2 to 3 feet wide.
