Desert Eve Yellow, also known as Common Yarrow, Achillea Millefolium, or Milfoil, is a perennial landscape plant native to Europe. Achilles, of Greek mythology, used his namesake plant to treat battlefield wounds. While its medicinal use is minimal, Syngenta developed this Achillea cultivar for a shorter production time, making it the earliest flowering variety available, suitable for spring sales. Desert Eve offers an upright habit of 16-20" tall and 18-24" wide with clusters of yellow flowers that bloom from April to September. Hardy in zone 5-9, yarrow flourishes in full sun in containers, cottage gardens, sunny borders, and cut flower gardens. Desert Eve Yellow is an excellent companion plant, repelling pests and attracting ladybugs and pollinators. It is drought-tolerant, low-maintenance, long-blooming, and lovely for cutting. Desert Eve is also available in Deep Rose, Red, and Terracotta.
Sell Desert Eve Yellow to customers looking for a low-maintenance perennial addition to a border or a cheery, drought-tolerant flower for a mixed container. Desert Eve is a compact, non-invasive yarrow suitable for containers and landscape borders. In full sun, Achillea requires little more than regular rainwater to thrive. Lovely 2.5-inch yellow flower clusters attract bees, butterflies, and ladybugs, making it a superior plant for the cut flower or butterfly garden. The seedheads make delicious food for overwintering birds. Try pairing Achillea with Gaillardia, Black-eyed Susan, Coneflower, Argyranthemum Angelic Ruby, and Leucanthemum Lucille Grace for a cottage garden look.

1. Space plants 12-18" apart in well-drained soil in full sun.
2. Water regularly after transplanting to establish healthy roots and then water occasionally, allowing the soil to dry between watering.
3. Plant Achillea in the vegetable or cut flower garden to attract pollinators.
4. Use gloves when handling Achillea, as some people have a mild allergy to its foliage and sap.
To achieve the best results with Desert Eve Yellow, use well-drained soil in full sun with light feed (100-150 ppm N), temperatures of 55-62 degrees, and a pH of 5.8-6.6. Plant one rooted plug per 4-inch container or 2-3 per 10-inch container. Powdery mildew and root rot can be a problem. Once established, Achillea is very low-maintenance. In containers or landscape applications, it requires little more than full sun and rainwater to thrive.
Large clusters of yellow flowers bloom from April to September.
Desert Eve Yellow doesn't require pinching.
Grow Achillea in 4-inch or 10-inch containers. Space 4-inch containers 6-8" apart and 10-inch containers 8-12" apart for adequate airflow and sunlight penetration.
This plant doesn't require chemical growth regulators.
Achillea isn't prone to pests. In landscape applications, it repels pests and attracts pollinators and ladybugs.
Desert Eve Yellow isn't prone to disease. Watch for powdery mildew and root rot. Take the following precautions to prevent disease caused by wet, humid conditions.
1. Water plants at the base in the morning and allow the soil to dry out between waterings.
2. Provide good airflow in your greenhouse. We've had success with using horizontal airflow fans.
3. Space containers to allow airflow and for sunlight to penetrate to the soil level.
We recommend planting one rooted liner per 4-inch container or 2-3 plugs per 10-inch container. Use well-drained soil and completely bury the ellepot in the center of 4-inch containers or equally spaced in 10-inch containers.
