I like the white-fuzzy buds

Common name yarrow Family asteraceae Life cycle perennial (Z3-9) Flowers yellow (June) Size 2-3' Light sun From seed probably does not set viable seed detailed seed-starting info below Seed ripens late July Hybrid yarrow, with flat yellow flowerheads and ferny gray-green foliage. It is fairly similar to A. filipendulina 'Cloth of Gold', but its flowers are a paler shade of yellow, and the plant grows much shorter ('Cloth of Gold' reaches to 4 ft), so that it has less tendency to flop. It's been reasonably happy in the sub-ideal conditions provided by our driveway bed, neither significantly spreading nor sulking over its lot in life.

In our garden, this plant grows in the following area: driveway bed
