Description
Summer Drift™ Yarrow is a charming perennial that fills Massachusetts gardens with clusters of snowy white, pompon-shaped blooms from late spring to early fall. This fast-growing yarrow thrives in full sun to partial shade and adapts well to average to dry soils, making it an excellent choice for low-maintenance landscapes. Its dark green, narrow foliage adds a lush contrast to the delicate white flowers, which are perfect for cutting and floral arrangements. Highly tolerant of urban pollution, this variety flourishes even in city gardens, bringing beauty to any setting.
Ideal for mass planting, border edging, or as a ground cover, Summer Drift™ Yarrow adds a soft, mounded texture to garden compositions. It attracts bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, while its drought tolerance makes it a great addition to xeriscape gardens. Though considered high maintenance, this yarrow rewards gardeners with a long blooming season and a lifespan of up to 10 years when properly cared for. For best results, clean up in early spring before new growth begins and ensure the plant is spaced 16 inches apart for optimal air circulation.
