Rose Yarrow is a compact mounding herbaceous perennial with upright stems and deeply dissected medium green aromatic foliage. A full bloom of small deep rose pink flowers bloom in flat clusters in late spring into summer and may rebloom if deadheaded. An excellent cut flower that retains color when dried. Prefers full sun and well-drained soils. Heat and drought tolerant.
