The flat fuzzy dissected gray green leaves makes the foliage a great show alone. Achillea
clavennae is a little weaker in the garden than Achillea kellereri
which has similar uses, both have fragrant foliage,
silver leaves and white flowers. The leaves are broader in Achillea clavennae and therefore a little more
showy when massed. The foliage is about 2" tall and gradually forms an expanding clump over the seasons.
The flowers grow on stalks up to 4" tall. A summer repeat bloom can be encouraged by deadheading the fading
flowers. Achillea clavinae is a native of the Alps. Good drainage helps keep plants from rotting. Achillea
clavennae is a nectar source for the Checkerspot Butterfly Species
and is a great addition to the butterfly garden.
