Little Moonshine is a super-compact, early-blooming sport of the popular full-sized variety Moonshine. Tends to begin flowering even earlier than most other Yarrows, continuing all summer (cut or deadhead the blooms promptly for fastest re-bloom) and even going into fall. The fragrant gray-green leaves and abundant pale yellow flower heads, irresistible to butterflies and bees, resemble those of big Moonshine. This plant was bred by a Dutch plantsman and introduced in England. Sun-loving, drought-resistant perennial reaches just 9 to 12 inches high and 10 to 12 inches wide, with masses of creamy primrose flowers above sagebrush-scented foliage. It never needs support to keep the big flower heads from flopping, and will bloom even in poor soil or dry conditions. Photo courtesy of Ball Seed.
