Little Moonshine Yarrow (Achillea Little Moonshine) is the compact solution for gardeners who love the iconic, glowing color of the classic 'Moonshine' but need a smaller footprint. This dwarf variety delivers the same brilliant gold, flat-topped flower clusters and silvery-green foliage in a tidy, mounded habit that never outgrows its welcome.

As a specialized selection within the Achillea genus, Little Moonshine is prized for its "plant-it-and-forget-it" resilience. It is exceptionally tough, easily handling heat, drought, coastal salt air, and fire, while remaining naturally resistant to deer and gophers. Because it only reaches about 12 inches in height, it is the perfect choice for the front of a garden border, rock gardens, or as a vibrant "thriller" in mixed container arrangements. Its fine-textured foliage stays evergreen in most climates, providing year-round interest even when not in bloom.

Why you’ll love it:

  • Radiant Gold Blooms: 2–3 inch bright yellow flower heads that provide a stunning contrast against silvery foliage.
  • Perfect Compact Size: Reaches only 9–12 inches tall, making it ideal for small gardens and patio pots.
  • Unmatched Toughness: Tolerates drought, heat, poor soil, and coastal conditions with ease.
  • Pollinator Friendly: Attracts butterflies and beneficial bees while remaining deer and gopher resistant.
  • Year-Round Texture: Silvery, fern-like evergreen foliage adds a sophisticated look to the garden in all seasons.

This 4-inch healthy live plant thrives in full sun and prefers well-drained soil. It is remarkably water-wise once established, requiring only occasional deep watering. Whether you use it as a low-growing accent or a high-contrast ground cover, Little Moonshine Yarrow offers the perfect blend of sunshine-yellow color and rugged durability. Hardy in USDA Zones 3–10.

We use expedited shipping policies to protect plant health and minimize plant stress in transit.  All plants are in transit for only 1-3 days. (This does not guarantee 3-day delivery as orders are not always packed and sent out on the day of your order.) We send out deliveries on a weekly schedule to ensure quick transit times, so your order may not be packaged and shipped until later in the week. For instance, we may hold shipments to avoid weekend delays that keep plants in transit for longer.

All packaging includes eco-friendly material and our shipping methods are tested regularly to ensure plants arrive healthy upon arrival.

Additionally, any delays or damages in shipping are covered by our Healthy Plant Guarantee.

If you're plants arrived damaged, we will happily replace them for free!
