Achillea filipendulina

This upright species is known for tall stems topped with dense golden flower plates. It excels in sunny, open sites with lean, well‑drained soils. Plants form clumps rather than running, so maintenance is simpler than with rhizomatous yarrows. Flowering usually peaks from early to mid‑summer, with additional bloom after deadheading. Stems are often sturdy in lean soils and are valued for cut and dried use. Strong summer storms can flatten plants grown in rich soil. Heat and humidity tolerance is better than many yarrows in North America.
