The Pearl Yarrow Seed
Reliable perennial.
Small clusters of ½" double-white flowers on sturdy, durable stems. Highly productive plants produce multiple cuts, especially in the second year of production, as plants are taller and more vigorous in the second year. Appearance is reminiscent of baby's breath and feverfew. Typically blooming later in the summer, The Pearl can be used as a mid- and late-season substitute for feverfew. Plants will produce two flushes of stems and blooms if cut back within a few inches of the ground, after the first round of flowers. Excellent cut flower and reliable perennial garden plant. Tolerates heat and low-water growing environments once established. Perennial in Zones 3–9.Specs:
