Sneezewort, Yarrow

Achillea ptarmica 'Peter Cottontail'

Peter Cottontail Sneezewort produces clean, large ivory-white flowers that stand out among the typically yellow yarrows, and its lance-shaped dark green foliage with finely toothed margins remains attractive throughout the season, unlike the feathery foliage of Achillea millefolium.

  • Large ivory-white flowers on upright stems, a cleaner, bolder white than the small-flowered common yarrow
  • Lance-shaped dark green leaves with fine-toothed margins are more refined than typical yarrow foliage
  • Excellent as a fresh or dried cut flower, holds its form and colour when dried
  • Blooms June–July with sporadic repeat blooming into fall

Growing & Maintenance Tips
Achillea ptarmica grows best in an average to dry, well-drained soil, in full sun to partial shade. Cut back faded flowers to encourage a second flush of blooms for late summer and to maintain overall appearance and shape.
