High Country Gardens Achillea millefolium
Best low-maintenance perennial for gardeners seeking drought-tolerant, deer-resistant summer color.
These earth-toned blooms bring a sophisticated, painterly warmth to the garden that standard bright yellows simply can't match. While you will need to provide lean, well-draining soil to keep them from getting leggy, the trade-off is a virtually indestructible, drought-proof perennial that keeps the butterflies coming all summer long.
