Flowers appear in spring and summer. Plant in full sun to light shade and moderate watering. . Hardy to <0 degrees F. Attractive to butterflies and beneficial insects. This long time favorite is one of the darker pink yarrows. We have always vegetatively propagated this plant from our own stock plants and believe our selection of this fine cultivar to be superior to the 'seed' raised plants that are often offered. Good nectar source for butterflies.  The description above is based on our research and observations of this plant growing in our nursery and in our own and other Santa Barbara gardens. We would appreciate hearing from anyone who has additional information or disagrees with what we have written.
