Bulldog Red Yarrow certainly lives
up to its name.
It is a tough, fast growing yarrow with brilliant red flowers.The deep
color holds well through the heat. When flowering is over, cut the
stalks back to the ground and watch it spread out.
The species name "millefolium", or thousand leaves, is a reference to the
frilly cut-out shape of the leaves. All yarrows
are important beneficial insect plants. These
beneficial insects not only help
keep the bad bugs in check but also provide food for other wildlife.
Planting yarrow near vegetables and fruits improves pollination and
health of the garden. Bulldog Red Yarrow
would make a nice addition to our Wildlife Herb
Garden Six Pack. |
