Achillea 'hoffnung' or 'great expectations' Yarrow

The flat fuzzy divided gray leaves are a great show by themselves.  The pastel creamy yellow flowers hold for a long time and can easily be dried.  The foliage is about 1' tall and gradually expands in width over the years.  The flowers grow on stalks up to 18" tall.  A summer repeat bloom can be encouraged by deadheading the fading flowers.  I prune out the older stalks each winter to encourage new growth from the base.
