Achillea tomentosa, Woolly Yarrow, is a charming, mat-forming perennial distinct from the common tall yarrow. It forms a low, spreading carpet of finely divided, woolly, silver-gray leaves. In late spring to early summer, it produces flat-topped clusters of bright golden-yellow flowers on short stems (6–10 inches). The foliage is evergreen in mild winters.
Woolly Yarrow thrives in full sun and poor, well-drained, even rocky soil. It is extremely drought-tolerant. Perfect for rock gardens, troughs, dry slopes, and edging. The silver foliage and gold flowers are a classic combination. It spreads moderately. A tough, beautiful, small-scale yarrow for xeric gardens.
