Achillea ptarmica 'Peter Cottontail' (Sneezewort) is a charming perennial featuring masses of ivory-white, mounded double flowers that resemble fluffy buttons. Unlike typical Yarrow, this variety boasts deep green, lance-shaped foliage that stays lush throughout the season.

This professional-grade plant offers a robust root system and organic heritage, making it a resilient choice for sunny borders or mixed containers. It thrives in well-drained soil and provides a sophisticated, airy texture to any landscape.

  • Prolific Double Blooms: Continuous ivory-white flowers from summer to fall.
  • Drought Tolerant: Once established, it handles dry spells with ease.
  • Pollinator Magnet: Highly attractive to butterflies and beneficial bees.
  • Low Maintenance: Compact habit requires minimal deadheading.
  • Deer Resistant: Natural compounds make it unappealing to grazing pests.

These 4" healthy live plants thrive in full sun with moderate water needs.
