Achillea
tomentosa * Wooly Yarrow |
| 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 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 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.
