Achillea 'Moonshine'

Yarrow Achillea Moonshine

Achillea ‘Moonshine’ is one of the most popular and dependable perennial yarrows, prized for its bright sulfur-yellow flowers and finely textured silver-gray foliage. Flat-topped flower clusters are held on upright, sturdy stems, creating a clean, luminous look in the garden.

Blooming from early summer through late summer, ‘Moonshine’ often reblooms with deadheading and maintains excellent form without flopping. The foliage stays attractive throughout the season and adds contrast even when the plant is not in bloom.

Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, it is highly drought tolerant, heat tolerant, and performs best in lean soils. Hardy in USDA Zones 4–8, it is also deer resistant and pollinator friendly.

Mature size:



Height: 18–24 in



Width: 18–24 in



Ideal for perennial borders, mass plantings, rock gardens, pollinator gardens, and cutting gardens, Achillea ‘Moonshine’ is valued for its long bloom time, strong color, and low-maintenance performance.
