New Vintage™ Violet Achillea Plant

New Vintage™ Violet Achillea Plants bring magical clusters of flat-topped blooms in a striking shade of violet, hovering over feathery, fern-like foliage that is pleasantly aromatic. This one combines the best of classic yarrow with a fresh new color twist! It tolerates drought once established and the salty conditions found in coastal gardens. The tiny flowers attract bees and butterflies, while the dried seed heads appeal to wild birds. Deer and rabbits tend to leave it alone.
