Description:

Achillea filipendula 'Parker's Yellow' has vibrant, long-lasting blooms and fragrant silvery foliage. Yarrow is striking in butterfly or flower gardens, in both formal and informal settings. 'Cloth of Gold' has excellent performance. Tolerant of dry, poor soils as well as heat and humidity. Achillea filipendulina, commonly known as fern-leaf yarrow, is an upright, clump-forming yarrow that is native to Afghanistan.

Genus name is in reference to Achilles, hero of the Trojan Wars in Greek mythology, who used the plant medicinally to stop bleeding and to heal the wounds of his soldiers. 'Cloth of Gold' is a stiff, erect plant which features yellow, plate-like, dense, terminal flower clusters (corymbs) and elegant, deeply-cut, fern-like, deep green leaves. Foliage has a spicy odor when crushed. Good cut or dried flower. Long summer bloom period may be extended by prompt removal of faded flower heads. Culture Best grown in lean, dry to medium, well-drained sandy loams in full sun. Does well in average garden soils and tolerates poor soils as long as drainage is good. Avoid heavy clays and moist, rich, fertile soils.

Plants tolerate hot and humid summers with some drought. Plants are best sited in locations protected from strong winds. Deadhead spent flower heads to lateral buds to promote additional bloom. Cut plants back to basal leaves after flowering to tidy the planting and to encourage possible additional fall bloom. Divide clumps when they become overcrowded (every 3-4 years). Propagate by seed, cuttings or division.
