Yarrow prefers well-drained soil and full sun and it is often found naturalizing in fields and along roadsides. It is a fantastic wildlife plant that attracts butterflies and other pollinators. Makes excellent cut or dried arrangements and is very easy to divide. 'Paprika' Yarrow has brick-red flowers that should be dead-headed after blooming to encourage additional flowers. Works well as a flowering ground cover in meadows, prairies, and naturalized areas.
Large clumps should be divided as necessary to maintain healthy and vigorous growth and performance and reduce disease. Bloom season is from mid to late summer.

Carolina Sapphire Cypress (also called Arizona Cypress) is a beautifully tall, wide, and evergreen tree that grows best in full sun and well-drained soil. It is moderately drought and salt tolerant and needs little water once established. Built for the brutal head of North Carolina summers.
The foliage has beautiful, silvery-blue to teal coloration year-round, and the bark is gray to brownish-black. The branches are sturdy but have a lacy appearance and its aroma and color interest make a great display in holiday greenery.
Arizona cypress is relatively trouble-free and moderately deer-resistant, making it a good choice for screening when compared to other fast-growing evergreen choices. It can be used as a specimen tree or for windbreaks.
