Achillea ptarmica 1Q

(Sneezewort) A classic cottage garden flower with cheerful dainty double white blooms that make excellent fillers in bouquets similar to Baby’s Breath. Unlike A. millefolium, the leavers are not fernlike and dissected but are bright green with toothed margins. The common name comes from its past use as a snuff substitute due to its fragrant foliage. Requires good drainage and the foliage tends to decline in high humidity.
