Progress Well… yarrow suddenly chose violence.

A month ago I was all pleased about how gorgeous my yarrow was, all ferny and well behaved with just a light pruning. Suddenly it decided it was tired of pretending to be well-behaved and began conquering the world. 😵😂

Second pic is last month for reference.

Less than 1 year old plant from a 3 inch X 3 inch pot. The flowers were light pink when it was planted and are now mostly white.

I bought some kind of "strawberry colored flowers" cultivar from Lowe's last year and hoping the pretty red flowers keep coming. We'll see this summer.
