Color notes
Flowers open as soft butter-yellow to lemon-yellow clusters and mature to paler pastel yellow or cream-yellow. Yellow colour usually remains cleaner than older pink/red fading yarrows, but heads still lose freshness if harvested late. Harvest mature heads while colour is fresh and florets are open.

Other varieties in this crop
Yarrow Anthea
Yellow / Filler, Accent / Late spring through summer; often from early to late summer with deadheading and repeat flushes
Anthea is a soft yellow yarrow with flat flower heads that age toward cream. It is most useful as a calm filler and texture stem for summer bouquets, especially when bright gold yarrow feels too strong. Grow it as a perennial clump crop, cut only when the heads are fully mature, and treat it as a useful fresh-and-dried stem rather than a high-gloss florist flower.

Yarrow Appleblossom
Purple / Filler / Late spring through summer; often from early to late summer with deadheading and repeat flushes
‘Appleblossom’ is a soft pink yarrow for growers who want a romantic filler with a flatter, calmer shape than airy fillers such as ammi or feverfew. The flowers open apple-blossom pink and then fade through pale blush into creamy tones, which makes them useful in pastel bouquets but also means they must be cut and sold with care. This is not the strongest long-stem yarrow for wholesale buckets. It earns its place where colour, softness, dried use, and garden-style design matter more than maximum stem length.
