Walther Funcke Yarrow
Description
Highlighting this perennial are spreading mats of fern-like rosettes, along with deeply divided, gray green leaves. Upright stems can reach 2-3 ft above foliage. Brick red flowers with yellow centers appear in late spring and early summer. Following bloom, dead head the plant and divide the clumps when it appears crowded. This perennial does best in full sun with well-draining, lean soil. Do not plant in windy areas. Dead hea

Water Saving Tip:
Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems.
Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.
