(Achillea ptarmica) Stunning bright white sprays of doubled blooms on 2.5' mounded foliage. A lovely addition to any garden, long blooming through October, beloved by pollinators and us! While these would be perfect as a filler, they are impressive on their own. Long lasting and stemmed fresh and a perfect dried flower for wreaths, etc. Not flashy, but calmly and clearly present. Perennial, first-year bloomer.
