description

Achillea filipendulina is a perennial herbaceous plant . Cultivated forms found in gardens such as 'Parkers' and 'Coronation Gold' reach heights of between 70 and 150 cm, the wild form around 70 to 120 cm. The pinnately cut leaves are 10 to 20 cm long and 3 to 7 cm wide with 0 to 5 cm long stems widened at the base.

The shamrock inflorescence consists of many cup-shaped partial inflorescences in each of which there are 15 to 30 2 to 2.5 mm long tubular and two to four ray flowers . The golden sheaf, like some other species of the genus Achillea , has yellow flowers (although there are also a few pink to red cultivated forms). It blooms from June to September.

The number of chromosomes is 2n = 18.

With other types of yarrow z. B. the gold whisk sheaf ( Achillea clypeolata ) it is easy to confuse.

Distribution and locations

The golden sheaf is native to the Caucasus , Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. In other countries like Spain, Italy, Great Britain and Ukraine it is a neophyte. It prefers sunny locations, well drained as well as sandy and loamy soils. It is quite undemanding, and cultivated forms do not necessarily need human care, which is why they quickly become wild from gardens.
