Achillea

Plant Description   A favorite summer bloomer for bright yellow, orange, and pink-to-red, flat blossom clusters. Thin stems rise from basal clumps of lacy foliage. Named varieties vary in height, color, and vigor, some spreading rapidly by underground runners and requiring annual dividing. Cut stems to the ground after flowers fade. Blossom heads are valued in dried arrangements.
