New Late Bloomer

Yarrow is not a new plant here, but this yellow flowering variety is. It came to us through a plant swap at the local library. I chose to take this plant knowing that it was a different variety than what was already around, but I didn’t realize that its flowering time would be so different. I think it did flower when the other yarrow was flowering (around June) but the other yarrow is long done for the season and this one is flowering again. There are still unopened buds on the plant right now! It has already gone through multiple hard freezes, so I will be interested to see how long it keeps going and if it does this again each year.
