Common name: Moonshine Yarrow
Botanical name: Achillea 'Moonshine'

Long, straight stems with pale yellow flowers are striking on the mats of green to gray-green leaves of this plant, which are flatter and less divided than those of the Achillea millefolium. This Yarrow propagates easily from rooted cuttings or divisions which should be performed in the early spring or fall. Following bloom, one should dead head the plant and divide the clumps when it appears crowded. Introduced by Alan Bloom in the 1950's.

Common name: Superba Fescue
Botanical name: Festuca amethystina 'Superba'

The Rainbow Fescue is a hardy fescue with narrow, blue green foliage that grows 8"-12" tall. It has feathery, pinkish flowers that are 12" above the foliage that appear during late spring and early summer. This fescue is a very showy, neat grass for sunny spots during spring and fall. This grass does best in full sun or light shade with well draining soil. It is a clumping plant so it looks great in borders, in pots, among rocks. Once it's established, it needs little to no watering.
