Achillea 'Gloria Jean'

Yarrow Achillea millefolium 'Gloria Jean'

Achillea ‘Gloria Jean’ is a reliable, upright perennial yarrow known for its bright golden-yellow flower clusters and strong garden performance. Large, flat-topped blooms are held on sturdy stems above finely textured, aromatic gray-green foliage, creating bold color and excellent contrast in the landscape.

Blooming from early to mid-summer and often reblooming with deadheading, ‘Gloria Jean’ maintains good form and resists flopping better than many older yarrow varieties. Flowers are long-lasting and work well for cut or dried arrangements.

This cultivar thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, tolerates heat and drought once established, and performs best in lean soils. Hardy in USDA Zones 4–8, it is deer resistant and pollinator friendly.

Mature size:



Height: 24–30 in



Width: 18–24 in



Ideal for perennial borders, mass plantings, pollinator gardens, and cutting gardens, Achillea ‘Gloria Jean’ is valued for its bright color, upright habit, and dependable summer bloom
