Achillea Ptarmica Sneezewort

Achillea ptarmica, commonly known as Sneezewort, is a hardy and resilient perennial plant native to Europe and Asia. This herbaceous beauty is known for its slender, upright stems and feathery, deeply cut leaves that provide a graceful backdrop for its clusters of small, daisy-like, white or pale pink flowers that bloom in summer. The name "Sneezewort" is derived from the plant's historical use in traditional medicine, as its dried leaves were believed to induce sneezing when inhaled. Today, it is valued more for its ornamental qualities, thriving in a variety of soil types and light conditions, from full sun to partial shade.
