Achillea – Yarrow (Fern Leaf) Golden Coronation

$9.00

Achillea filipendulina ‘Golden Coronation’ is a perennial in the daisy (Asteraceae) family that grows to 90–120 cm tall and 50–70 cm wide. It prefers full sun and well-drained soils. It has ferny grey-green foliage with large flat-topped clusters of deep golden-yellow flowers. ‘Golden Coronation’ is used as a cottage garden and pollinator plant, and flowers are excellent for cut arrangements. Hardy in most NZ climates.

Description

Achillea filipendulina ‘Golden Coronation’ is a striking yarrow variety reaching 90–120 cm tall, with upright stems topped by large, flat clusters of deep golden-yellow flowers throughout summer. Its finely divided, aromatic grey-green leaves provide texture and contrast in the garden. Strong-stemmed blooms are long-lasting, both fresh and dried, making this cultivar a favourite for cut flower growers and cottage gardens. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soils, it is drought-tolerant once established and a magnet for bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects. Unlike some yarrows, it is not particularly used medicinally, being mainly grown for ornamental and pollinator purposes.
