About

Achillea Filipendulina ex Kyrgyzstan is an Achillea that bears large, flat-topped clusters of small flowers carried above frilly, hairy foliage. The blooms occur from June to September and are frequently visited by a wide range of insects. Leaves are aromatic and finely divided, giving the plant a textured presence in the herbaceous layer.

In the garden

Achillea Filipendulina ex Kyrgyzstan belongs to the genus Achillea and presents the genus’s characteristic flat clusters of small flowers set above frilly, often hairy and aromatic leaves. Members of the genus are native primarily to Eurasia and North America, and their flowers are widely attractive to insects, making this plant a reliable summer resource for pollinators. Flowering runs from June to September. Place the plants where their open, flat inflorescences can be seen and reached by insects; that visibility is the practical reason to site them toward the front of a sunny border or alongside a path where pollinators forage. Staggering individual plants or using them within informal mixed plantings will increase the period during which flower heads are present in the garden. The foliage’s fine texture contrasts well with broader-leaved perennials and grasses, and stems with multiple heads give a sustained summer display. Observe the flower heads through the season and remove any spent stems if you wish to limit self-seeding; otherwise leave some seedheads to support insect life late into the year. Expect multiple flat-topped flower clusters above aromatic, finely divided leaves from June to September.
