Yarrow - Achillea ptarmica 'Peter Cottontail'

Achillea ‘Peter Cottontail’ (a form of Achillea ptarmica) features enchanting ivory-white, fluffy button-shaped blooms that float above a tidy mound of green, fern-like foliage. Reaching about 18–24 in tall with a spread of 28–30 in, it offers a charming, airy texture reminiscent of baby’s breath yet more robust. Hardy in zones 3–8 and thriving in full sun to part shade, this perennial is drought-tolerant, low-maintenance, and resistant to deer and rabbits. Blooming from early summer into fall, it attracts butterflies and pollinators, and its flowers make excellent cut and dried arrangements.

  • 1 - 2.5" Plug
  • Ivory “bunny-tail” blooms
  • Drought & deer & rabbit resistant
  • Great for cut & dried arrangements
