Growing and Maintenance Tips
‘Moonshine’ Yarrow thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, performing best in lean to average conditions. Avoid rich or overly moist soils, which can cause floppy growth and reduce longevity. Once established, it is highly drought tolerant and very low maintenance. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage repeat bloom, or shear plants lightly after the first flush to maintain a compact habit. Cut back in late fall or early spring, and divide every few years to maintain vigour.
