Place yarrow 'Apfelblüte' in full sun, in a light, neutral to chalky soil, even stony, but very well drained. This plant has good drought resistance and is very hardy. Easy to grow, it does not require any special care. Simply remove spent flower stems to encourage a second flowering and water regularly. You can prune occasionally to keep a compact habit.
