Frequently Asked Questions

How large does Achillea ‘Moonshine’ (Yarrow) grow?

‘Moonshine’ is a compact, clump-forming perennial that typically grows 18 to 24 inches tall and 18 to 24 inches wide. It maintains a neat, upright habit with finely textured silvery-gray foliage, making it perfect for borders, pollinator gardens, and dry, sunny areas.

When does ‘Moonshine’ Yarrow bloom, and what do the flowers look like?

‘Moonshine’ blooms from early summer through early fall, producing flat-topped clusters of bright lemon-yellow flowers on stiff stems. The long bloom time and contrasting gray foliage make it a reliable and showy plant for season-long color.

What are the ideal growing conditions for Achillea ‘Moonshine’?

Yarrow thrives in full sun and prefers well-drained, sandy or rocky soils. It is highly drought-tolerant once established and thrives in poor to average soils. Avoid overly rich or moist soil, as it can cause the plant to flop or reduce its lifespan.

Is ‘Moonshine’ Yarrow deer-resistant and low-maintenance?

Yes! ‘Moonshine’ is deer-resistant and also rabbit-resistant, thanks to its aromatic, slightly bitter foliage. It is very low-maintenance, requiring only deadheading to extend the bloom period and an annual cutback in late fall or early spring to tidy up the clump.

Does Achillea ‘Moonshine’ attract pollinators or provide wildlife value?

Absolutely! The flat flower clusters are highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects, making it a favorite in pollinator-friendly and native-inspired gardens. It also serves as a larval host for some butterfly species.
