The fern-like foliage has a fine texture and a bold silver color. The tall stems of the Sassy Summer Silver Yarrow are topped by round, flat clusters of tiny yellow blooms. This plant is also known as Achillea, nosebleed plant, and thousand leaf, but whatever you call it, this is a low-maintenance plant that adds drama and texture.
