Achillea ptarmica fl. pl. 'Noblessa' (Double Sneezewort)

Achillea ptarmica fl. pl. 'Noblessa,' commonly known as Double Sneezewort, is a compact and elegant herbaceous perennial. It is prized for its clusters of small, fully double, pure white, button-like flowers that bloom above a mat of fine, dark green, lance-shaped foliage. Its tidy, compact form and long-lasting flowers make it a charming choice for borders, cottage gardens, and floral arrangements.

Achillea 'Noblessa' thrives in well-drained, moderately fertile soils and is moderately drought-tolerant once established. It attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies while being deer- and rabbit-resistant. Deadheading spent flowers encourages prolonged blooming, and cutting back after the flowering period helps maintain a tidy appearance. This low-maintenance plant pairs beautifully with other cottage garden favorites like lavender, salvia, or coreopsis for a soft and romantic garden display. It also works well in dried flower arrangements due to its long-lasting blooms.
