Where to Plant: Use it to break up strong colours in a sunny border, to edge a path, or in containers. White flowers glow at dusk, so it's a nice choice near a patio. It tolerates road salt and dry soil, which helps in beds along a sidewalk.
Companion Plants: Iris 'Rosalie Figge' adds bold, sword-shaped leaves and purple flowers in June and July, standing a little taller at 90 to 100 cm. Coreopsis UpTick™ Red brings red daisies to the front from June to September. Agastache 'Blue Bayou' fills the middle with blue spikes from midsummer into early fall. Plant the group in full sun.
Plant Care: Plant in full sun in well-drained, average soil. Lean soil keeps the stems short and strong. Water regularly through the first season, then only when it's very dry. Remove spent flower stems to push out more blooms. Cut the plant back in late fall or early spring. Divide in spring every few years if it spreads or gets thin in the middle.
History: White is the natural colour of wild common yarrow, Achillea millefolium, a familiar sight in fields and along roadsides across Canada. New Vintage™ White keeps that classic colour on a more compact, garden-ready plant.
Final Thoughts: Drought, salt and deer are not on the menu. Cut a few for the table and plant the rest where the sun hits hardest. ALWAYS SERVE CHILLED.
