Moonshine (Achillea Millefolium)

Achillea millefolium 'Moonshine' 
Achillea is a joy to the gardener for its undemanding adaptive nature and its eagerness to perform abundantly throughout the summer.  The foliage is fern-like and aromatic, while its blossom has a pure lemon yellow color.  Keeping this plant out of heavy moist soils, dividing every 2 years and removing the spent flowers  reinvigorate plantings.
