Achillea x clypeolata ‘Little Moonshine’ is a compact variety of yarrow, prized for its bright yellow flowers and silvery-gray foliage.
Because it is a member of the Achillea millefolium (yarrow) family, it is prized for its drought tolerance, low maintenance, and ability to attract pollinators like bees and butterflies.
Because it is a dwarf cultivar, it is perfect for smaller gardens or container planting due to its manageable size and long-lasting blooms.
The green, finely cut, aromatic foliage forms a compact clump with a light and feathery silhouette, fitting well in more rustic prairie-type settings as well as among more robust and voluminous perennials in a sunny flower bed.
This variety is often used in mixed borders, cottage gardens, and as a cut flower in arrangements due to its long bloom period and interesting color changes.
This ‘Little Moonshine’ can be planted in all regions, in sunny, well-drained soil.
The Tales:
It was named after Achilles who used it to bind the wounds of his men at the Battle of Troy as the leaves have astringent properties.
Yarrow has been found with Neanderthal burials, suggesting its association with human species dates to at least 60,000 years ago
It has been used since ancient times to heal wounds and stop bleeding, and in the sixteenth century the crushed leaves were used to stop nosebleeds.
The Miwok in California used the plant as an analgesic and head cold remedy.
The plant contains a uniquely blue essential oil – today it is used widely for medicinal purposes, for happiness creation, for face masks, for hydration, for chasing away sadness… there is lots of research, just make sure to double check the sources!
Yarrow tea has and can be used as a sedative or relaxant to reduce anxiety and stress – it is a bit bitter though, so it isn’t for everyone 🙂
