Island Pink Yarrow (Achillea millefolium Island Pink) is a stunning and rugged perennial that embodies the resilience of the California coast. Originally discovered on Santa Cruz Island, this evergreen herb is a "super-plant" for sustainable gardening, offering incredible tolerance to drought, fire, deer, and even heavy clay soils.

As a prominent member of the Achillea genus, this variety is prized by experienced gardeners for its reliability and ecological value. From spring through fall, it produces flat-topped clusters of vibrant, rosy-pink flowers that are a favorite nectar source for butterflies and beneficial pollinators. Its feathery, fern-like foliage remains green year-round and is tough enough to handle light foot traffic. In fact, many use this yarrow as a water-wise lawn substitute by mowing it regularly to maintain a low, lush carpet.

Why you’ll love it:

  • California Native: A hardy selection from the Channel Islands, perfectly adapted to West Coast climates.
  • Extreme Durability: Tolerates clay soil, drought, salt spray, and is naturally fire-resistant.
  • Lawn Alternative: Can be mowed to create a soft, evergreen, foot-traffic-friendly ground cover.
  • Pollinator Magnet: Attracts butterflies and bees with its long-lasting rosy pink blooms.
  • Pest Resistant: Naturally deters deer and is significantly more gopher-resistant than other perennials.

This 4-inch healthy live plant thrives in full sun to partial shade. It is exceptionally cold-hardy (USDA Zone 3) and heat-tolerant, making it suitable for almost any garden. Reaching a height of 1–3 feet (if left unmowed), it spreads beautifully to fill gaps in the landscape. Island Pink Yarrow is the perfect blend of delicate beauty and rugged California strength.

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 ship 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!
