Yarrow, not blooming.

Yarrow is an easy to grow, native perennial. It takes about 4 months to bloom, so it may not bloom first year from seed unless started indoors. Likes lots of sun.

Yarrow is a Host Plant for Painted Lady butterflies

Painted Lady butterflies use many different plants as host plants, including Yarrow, Hollyhock, Malva and Borage.

Where to buy Yarrow

I highly recommend Nature Hills Nursery. They sell many different varieties and species of yarrow. The price for one Yarrow plant at the time I'm writing this is around $15.95, but could change as the supply available changes. You can also sign up to have a seed and plant catalog from Nature Hills Nursery mailed to your home to order from also.

You can read more information about Yarrow on my site:

Achillea millefolium 'Appleblossom',
Achillea filipendula 'Coronation Gold',

Or go straight to the Nature Hills Nursery site to either order, read more detailed information about different yarrow varieties or see more detailed pricing information. Or order by calling 1-888-864-7663 using the Source ID: 86642!
