ACHILLEA/YARROW
 
A very hardy perennial that blooms all summer. Prefers full sun, but will tolerate being partly shaded. It's drought tolerant and is generally resistant to insects and disease but does require decent drainage. The foliage repels insects.

You can buy varieties that flower in assorted shades of white, yellow, and red. If you cut the flowers before they start to fade, and dry them, they keep their color well and are good for floral arrangements. The flowers are also good in potpourri.
