Achillea nobilis
Noble yarrow is a hardy Eurasian perennial in the daisy family that forms a low clump of soft, hairy green leaves and sends up flower stems to about 75 cm in late spring. The key to growing it is full sun and well-drained soil, as it tolerates poor conditions but dislikes wet roots.
Achillea nobilis, the noble yarrow, is a Eurasian flowering plant in the sunflower family.
It is native to Eurasia, widespread across most of Europe (except Scandinavia and the British Isles) and also present in Turkey, the Caucasus, and Central Asia. It is reportedly present in Xinjiang Province in western China, but this is based on a single herbarium specimen collected in the 19th century. The species is widely cultivated and has become naturalized outside of its range in North America and other parts of the world.
