Notes
'Cloth of Gold' fern-leaf yarrow (Achillea filipendulina 'Cloth of Gold') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, pollinator gardens, and low maintenance beds. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to moist soil of most types. Butterflies and bees visit the yellow blooms, and the plant is drought tolerant and fragrant. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. It forms a clump 36 to 48 inches tall.
Pairs well with White Swan coneflower, Blanket flower, and Double Play Doozie spirea.
