Achillea ptarmica 'Peter Cottontail' (Yarrow)

(Sombrero® Series) Bright orange blooms surround a vibrant orange centre cone and grow en masse above dark green foliage. Rapid growth rate.

Use as cut or dried flowers. Be sure to keep some flowers in the garden over winter, as the blackened seedheads provide cold-season garden interest, as well as food for finches and other winter birds.
