Achillea filipendulina 'Cloth of Gold' |
+ Add |
Cloth of Gold Fernleaf Yarrow |
Description
The filipendulina is characterized by dense clumps of upright stems, which show green, densely-hairy leaves similar to those of a fern. The plant is accented with flower heads formed in flat-topped clusters of a bright yellow color. Yarrow propagates easily from rooted cuttings or divisions, which should be performed in the early spring or fall. Following bloom, one should dead head the plant and divide the clumps when it appears crowded.
