The fuzzy gray green leaves of Achillea tomentosa are great to walk on. They feel good between the toes.
The bright yellow flowers hold for a long time. The fragrant
foliage is about 2" tall and gradually spreads in width over the years. The flowers grow on stalks up to
2" tall. I often use this dwarf yarrow as a groundcover between stepping stones. Where there is foot traffic
the leaves get a little smaller. The camera lens in the lower left hand corner can be used for scale. Achillea
tomentosa is a nectar source for the Checkerspot
Butterfly species and is a great addition to the butterfly garden.
