Achillea filipendulina Kashmir

Achillea filipendulina, commonly known as fernleaf yarrow, is a perennial herbaceous plant native to Eurasia. It belongs to the Asteraceae family and is recognized for its distinctive fern-like foliage and bright, yellow, flat-topped flower clusters that bloom in mid to late summer.

Appearance: The plant grows to about 1.5 to 2 feet in height, with finely divided, feathery leaves that give it a delicate, fern-like appearance. The yellow flowers are arranged in dense, umbrella-like clusters.

Cultivation: It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. It is quite drought-tolerant and can handle poor soil conditions, making it a good choice for low-maintenance gardens. It’s also known for being deer-resistant.

Uses: Aside from its ornamental value, fernleaf yarrow has been used in traditional medicine for its potential antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. It’s also attractive to pollinators like bees and butterflies.

Care: Regular deadheading of spent flowers can promote continuous blooming and prevent self-seeding. It generally requires minimal maintenance and can be divided every few years to maintain its vigor.
