Description
Achillea ‘Moonshine’ (Moonshine Yarrow)
Moonshine Yarrow is a problem‑solving perennial for hot, dry, low‑maintenance areas where other plants struggle. Its bright canary yellow flower clusters and soft silver foliage thrive in full sun, making it ideal for replacing thirsty lawn areas, brightening borders, and anchoring xeriscape designs. Blooming begins in early summer, and plants will re‑bloom after trimming for extended color.
Key Features
• Flat‑topped, canary yellow flower clusters
• Silver‑toned foliage for season‑long contrast
• Clump‑forming habit with extended bloom time
• Drought tolerant once established
• Prefers full sun for strongest flowering
Common Questions
• What problem does Moonshine Yarrow solve?
It thrives in hot, dry, low‑water areas where turf and many perennials fail, adding long‑lasting color with minimal care.
• Is it good for beginners?
Yes. It tolerates average to poor soils and needs very little maintenance.
• Will it grow in full sun?
Yes. Full sun produces the strongest flowering and best foliage color.

Orders containing only hard goods generally ship right away
as the inventory allows. Those items ship year-round and generally within one
week.
When ordering plants during fall or spring shipping, we will
set your order for the next available shipping week appropriate for your
location. April and May are our busiest months, and sometimes shipping delays
happen. Plants may be processed later than scheduled or the shipping department may get behind. This is not the norm, but it does sometimes happen. Please bear with us if this happens.
Our bare-root (field-grown) trees and shrubs typically arrive at the facility for shipping in November, December, and January (for fall shipping) and in February, March, April, and May (for spring shipping).
An example of month-by-month shipping would be as follows, as plants are available:
