Achillea (Yarrow)
 
These are tough, dependable, and abundantly flowering perennials for the water-wise garden.  They range in size from low groundcovers to heaping mounds of typically ferny foliage.  Blooms are flat top clusters of small daisy like flowers in shades of white, yellow, pink, orange and red.  Even when not in bloom, they are attractive as a ferny foliage ground cover.  All like full sun.  Require minimal care - cut back after blooming and divide clumps when they get crowded.  They are drought tolerant when established but look better with some water.  Attract butterflies and hummingbirds as well as beneficial insects such as lady beetles and parasitic wasps.  At Markham we have several varieties of yarrow including:   
 
Moonshine
