Coronation Gold Yarrow is an upright, clump-forming herbaceous perennial with aromatic silvery-gray foliage.  Small, deep yellow flowers bloom in huge clusters on sturdy stems above the foliage in summer.  An excellent cut flower that retains color when dried.  Heat and drought tolerant.  Prefers full sun and well-drained soils. 

MAINTENANCE NEEDS: Low maintenance.  Stems tend to flop if grown in rich, moist soils.  Taller stems may need staking if grown in light shade.  Can cut back in spring before bloom to reduce height, or after to encourage additional bloom.  Stem rot, rust, and powdery mildew can be an occasional issue.  

LANDSCAPE USES:  Accents or Group Plantings, Borders, Naturalized Areas, Wildlife Gardens, Rock Gardens, Xeriscape, Cutting Gardens, and Containers.

COMPANION PLANTS: Rosemary, Dwarf Fountain Grass
