| Pink Grapefruit Achillea (Yarrow) |
I've loved the perennial, yarrow, ever since I read a 1980s article in Woman's Day Magazine on how to dry and dye a yarrow bouquet.
The Pink Grapefruit Achillea Yarrow has an enchanting magical vibe. In full sun it will be planted to give height. Torenia and snapdragons will be layered in front of the tiny pink blossoms. One achilllea will over the years will spread to fill the space.

Your photo is pretty. I've heard of the yarrow plant in the 1800's, but didn't know what they used it for. That's my favorite era, so I enjoyed reading your post. So, I'm wondering, what do you put in the stuffed zucchini? Sounds delicious.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely and peaceful weekend.

Sheri,
ReplyDeleteStuff zuchini with a mix of sausage and mushrooms or what ever mix you like.
I like melted cheese over it.
I am hoping the pink yarrow blooms all summer. It does have several flower clusters in the early stages.
I always loved Yarrow as a child. It grows in my garden but I don’t know the variety. Love it.
ReplyDeleteMarie,
ReplyDeleteYarrow is a hearty no nonsense flower that spreads well, it is wonderful to see growing in the wild as well.
I don't think I've ever seen a pink yarrow and it sure is pretty!
ReplyDeleteDon't think I'll be mailing a letter to myself - postage costs are too high! Email, maybe!
Maryanne,
ReplyDeleteLOL! An email is better!
I see online, yarrow is also orange and yellow.
Gorgeous floral photo ~ awesome color ~ wow!

ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
That yarrow is gorgeous! And you can't beat a sale like that! YAY!
ReplyDeleteJeanie,
ReplyDeleteIt was a great sale for sure.
All I need to do now is get the plants in the ground.
Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you, William
ReplyDeleteIt puzzles me why they call the flowers Pink Grapefruit. They don't remind me of pink grapefruit at all.
