Yarrow is an all-star, popular plant choice among California native gardeners, including beginners! It is durable and easy to grow in a wide range of soil types and has low moisture requirements. It reseeds and spreads quickly, making it a good groundcover plant for lawn replacement. -
Tolerates coastal exposure. For use in cottage gardens, perennial beds, cut flowers, in mass. Deer resistant. Foliage height 4-8" tall, flower stalks can reach 3 feet. Aggressiveness/spreading capability depends on climate. In warmer areas, tends to stay abut 12-18"W, but in cold climate (with snow) will spread fairly aggressively 2-3 feet. Can divide every few years if center of the plant is less vigorous or begin to die out. -
