King Edward Yarrow

King Edward Yarrow (Achillea x lewisii 'King Edward') is a charming and refined dwarf perennial that brings a touch of alpine elegance to the garden. This unique hybrid forms a low, tight carpet of soft, feathery, woolly-gray foliage that remains attractive all season. In late spring, it is topped with flat-headed clusters of primrose-yellow flowers that age gracefully to a soft cream, hovering just inches above the silver-green leaves.

As a resilient member of the Achillea genus, 'King Edward' is a specialist for rock gardens and small-scale groundcovers. It is exceptionally drought-tolerant and thrives in lean, well-drained soils where other perennials struggle. Its compact habit makes it a perfect choice for tucking into stone walls or path edges. Why you’ll love it: Exquisite silvery-wool foliage, soft primrose blooms, and a tough-as-nails nature that handles heat and drought with zero effort.

This healthy 4" live flowering plant thrives in full sun and requires sharp drainage to maintain its dense, cushion-like habit.
