Notes
Sneezewort (Achillea ptarmica) is a perennial for pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). White flowers open from early to late summer and bloom again in early autumn. Bees visit the blooms. The plant grows 18 to 24 inches tall and spreads 18 to 24 inches wide, so give it room.
Pairs well with Big Daddy hosta, Campfire rose, Sensitive fern, and Foxtail barley.
