A very hardy yarrow with long lasting brick-red and yellow plate-like flowers that age to rusty terra-cotta orange; also attractive when used in dried arrangements; tolerates sandy soil and deer
Out of stock
Walther Funcke Yarrow is clothed in stunning brick red flat-top flowers with yellow eyes at the ends of the stems from early to late summer. The flowers are excellent for cutting. Its attractive tomentose ferny leaves remain grayish green in color throughout the season.
It is an herbaceous perennial with a ground-hugging habit of growth. Its relatively fine texture sets it apart from other garden plants with less refined foliage. This is a high maintenance plant that will require regular care and upkeep, and is best cleaned up in early spring before it resumes active growth for the season. It is a good choice for attracting bees, butterflies and hummingbirds to your yard, but is not particularly attractive to deer who tend to leave it alone in favor of tastier treats.
