Yarrow, the Achillea species, are noted for their delicate, ferny foliage that brings a soft texture to the landscape. The bright blooms are a magnet for pollinators in the summer. A garden favorite for generations because of its exceptional tolerance to just about any sunny or arid location with well-drained soil. Low-growing varieties are ideal for edging or ground covers. Taller varieties are great for cut flower arrangements.

Starflower, or Blazingstar, do great in arid landscapes.
