Growing notes
- Flat-topped flower heads provide landing platforms for parasitic wasps, hoverflies and other tiny beneficial insects
- More architectural and substantially taller than common yarrow (A. millefolium)
- Drought tolerant — happy on poor and well-drained soils
- Faded heads dry well for winter arrangements and provide winter structure
