Marshmallow Yarrow (Achillea ptarmica 'Marshmallow'
Don't let the delicate name fool you, Marshmallow Yarrow is one of the toughest, most rewarding perennials you can grow, and a truly captivating spin on a garden classic. Yarrow (Achillea) has been a staple of cottage gardens, meadow plantings, and herbal borders for centuries, beloved for its feathery foliage, flat-topped flower clusters, and legendary toughness. 'Marshmallow' takes everything gardeners already love about yarrow and reimagines it entirely: instead of the traditional flat corymbs in yellow, pink, or red, this exceptional variety produces clouds of fluffy, fully double, sugar-white blooms that look like their namesake, soft, rounded, and irresistibly charming, giving the same workhorse performance in an entirely fresh, romantic form.
Achillea ptarmica 'Marshmallow' blooms heavily from late spring through late summer, one of the longest-performing perennials in the garden, with slender stems rising above finely textured, deep green foliage that stays attractive from spring through fall. Like its traditional yarrow cousins, it excels in dry to average gardens, thriving in salty soils, sandy soils, and low-fertility conditions where other plants struggle. Plant it, neglect it, and watch it thrive. It's equally happy in a border, a cutting garden, or a container, and it performs beautifully in both fresh and dried arrangements, holding its soft white color and fluffy form long after cutting.
A magnet for bees and butterflies throughout the season, and completely ignored by deer and rabbits, this is classic yarrow toughness dressed up in something entirely unexpected.
