Description:
New Vintage Violet Yarrow features violet red colored flowers sitting just on top of the grey-ish green ferny leaves; flowers will fade to pink as they age. Great for cutting fresh or dried flower art, this plant is an excellent addition to rock gardens, cutting gardens, beds, and containers. It is drought tolerant and prefers hot sun. The foliage is fragrant. While it is a low maintenance plant, cutting back the spent blooms and foliage can lead to the production of fresh foliage and flowers. It was naturalized in the United States centuries ago, thus being considered a nativar today.
