Achillea ptarmica
Bears clusters of fully double small white pompon blooms with tiny yellow centers, almost like a large double Baby’s Breath. Though its common name Sneezewort would lead one to believe that the flowers induce excessive sneezing, actually it is less allergenic than common yarrow. Easily cultivated, spreads readily and makes an effective “wild” border, 2–3' tall. Supplies copious cutflowers from spring until frost, enjoyable either fresh or dried. Dry slowly before the oldest blooms start to brown. Perennial, Zones 3-10.
