Moonshine Yarrow
Best low-maintenance perennial for busy gardeners seeking drought-tolerant pollinator support.
This perennial is the ultimate low-effort workhorse for a drought-tolerant garden, offering vibrant lemon-yellow blooms against striking silver foliage all summer. Because it is a sterile variety, you sacrifice the natural spread of wilder species for a well-behaved, non-invasive plant that stays exactly where you put it.
