Achillea tomentosa
Also called Woolly Yarrow, Yarrow Woolly
Yellow milfoil is a low, mat-forming perennial with woolly, finely divided grey-green leaves and yellow flower heads, kept in gardens for its neat habit and drought tolerance. The key to growing it is sharp drainage and full sun.
Achillea tomentosa, commonly known as woolly yarrow, is a flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. It is sometimes kept as a garden plant, and occasionally naturalizes outside its original range of dry lowland habitats of southern Europe and (possibly) western Asia. It is a recipient of the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
