Yarrow, yarrow, yarrow


And, Chris,

how long does your 'Pearl' stay in bloom?  Mine just flops about the
garden, putting forth a short bloom season much like Baby's Breath.  I'm
beginning to think that it's because it's being over-fertilized because
it's right near a rose.  Translation:  fertile soil and a good dose of
fertilizer every Spring.  I can't say that my 'Pearl' has lush foliage,
though, because of it.  It certainly hasn't reseeded.  It just comes up
dutifully every year, gives me a few weeks of bloom, and then sits there
along with white echinacea.  They're a cool pair when they bloom, but
neither one is particularly robust.
I have them next to a red rugosa rose.  The rose is not particularly greedy
nor does it provide much shade.  Those of you with rugosas know what I
mean.  So I can't see where the rose is much of a factor in this.  I
remember earlier in the year that the list discussed the white echinacea
and I think most of you agree with me that it's not very impressive.  I'm
just wondering about the yarrow.
