Description
Pomegranate yarrow forms a compact, bushy perennial mound with sturdy upright stems and finely divided aromatic foliage. Broad magenta flower clusters provide a long summer display and make useful fresh or dried cuts. Grow it in full sun and freely draining soil, where established plants tolerate dry conditions. It suits sunny borders, prairie-style plantings, wildlife gardens, and roomy outdoor containers.
