Reminiscent of Baby’s Breath, Achillea ptarmica ‘Peter Cottontail’ (Sneezewort) is a perennial boasting a profusion of white, button-like flowerheads from early to early fall. Attractive to bees and butterflies, the blossoms are produced over a low mound of glossy, dark green, narrowly lance-shaped leaves. Prized for its long blooming season and easy care, this charming sneezewort is perfect for growing in borders, cottage gardens, wild gardens, naturalized areas or meadows. It also makes a wonderful cut flower.
