The flat fuzzy divided gray leaves are beautiful in their own right. The pastel creamy yellow flowers hold for a long time on the plants or in a vase and can easily be dried. The fragrant 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 Achillea Hoffnung to produce new growth from the base. Achillea Hoffnung is hardy to zone 4.
