Use:
'Coronation Gold' is an easy perennial with ferny foliage and large clusters of tiny yellow flowers. The flower clusters are flat on top and are held on elongated stalks. 'Coronation Gold' is nice for the middle or rear of the perennial border and looks good with violet meadow sage and blue larkspur. Plant it in the garden to attract ladybugs and predatory wasps. They also make good cut flowers and are nice dried in everlasting arrangements.


Culture:
Yarrows are undemanding and do not require much attention. Removing spent flowers will prolong the flowering. Clipping off the largest bud before flowering starts will force the energy to go into the numerous remaining smaller buds resulting in a more vigorously blooming plant.
