Achillea x kellereri (Keller's yarrow)
This unusual yarrow hybrid features fine, feathery silvery-gray leaves that have strong staying power, even in the dormant season. But the standout attraction is its unique flower clusters, with each individual bloom bigger like a miniature white daisy - far more broadly opened than is typical for yarrows. With crisp-white petals and a creamy pale-yellow center, each large flower cluster is borne on sturdy, upright stalks that attract pollinators (especially butterflies!) and beneficial insects to your landscape all season long. Flower stalks then persist over winter, supporting native insects and birds.
A very tidy plant for the front of the border or a rock garden, it grows just 8 in. tall and spreads out a foot or more over time. As with all yarrows, it thrives in full sun with decently-draining soils, and is extremely drought tolerant, plus resistant to bunnies and deer.
