'''''Achillea''''' is a genus of about 85 [[flowering plant]]s, in the family [[Asteraceae]], commonly referred to as ''yarrow''. They occur in [[Europe]] and temperate areas of [[Asia]]. A few grow in [[North America]]. These plants typically have frilly, hairy, aromatic [[Leaf|leaves]]. These plants show large, flat clusters of small [[flower]]s at the top of the stem. These flowers can be white, yellow, orange, pink or red. A number of species are popular [[garden]] plants. {{Inc| Achillea (its virtues said to have been discovered by Achilles). Compositae. Includes Ptarmica. About 100 species, some of which are hardy herbaceous border and alpine perennials of easy culture. Leaves simple or compound, often ternate: fl.-heads small, corymbose or racemose; receptacle nearly flat or convex, chaffy; ray fls. pistillate, fertile, the rays white or pink; disk fls. perfect, fertile. Most of the achilleas can be grown in ordinary garden soil, preferring open sunlight and well-drained situations. Some are alpine or sub-alpine and require rock-garden conditions. These are indicated under the individual species. Dwarf kinds make carpets in dry, sunny places; large kinds suitable for wild gardens.{{SCH}} }} ==Cultivation== {{monthbox | color = IndianRed | name = Achillea | jan = | feb = sow | mar = sow | apr = transplant | may = divide | jun = flowering | jul = flowering | aug = flowering | sep = flowering | oct = | nov = | dec = | notes = }} {{edit-cult}} ===Propagation=== Propagation in spring by division, cuttings and seeds: chipfly by the first method and easily accomplished{{SCH}}. ===Pests and diseases=== {{edit-pests}} ''Achillea'' species are used as food plants by the [[larva]]e of some [[Lepidoptera]] species - see [[list of Lepidoptera which feed on Achillea]]. ==Species== [[Image:Achillea filipendula detalle corimbo.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Fernleaf Yarrow (''Achillea filipendula'')]] *''[[Achillea abrotanoides]]'' *''[[Achillea ageratifolia]]'' : Balkan Yarrow, Greek Yarrow *''[[Achillea ageratum]]'' : Sweet Yarrow *''[[Achillea albicaulis]]'' *''[[Achillea aleppica]]'' *''[[Achillea ambrosiaca]]'' *''[[Achillea armenorum]]'' *''[[Achillea asplenifolia]]'' *''[[Achillea atrata]]'' *''[[Achillea aucheri]]'' *''[[Achillea barbeyana]]'' *''[[Achillea barrelieri]]'' [[Image:Achillea asplenifolia1.jpg|thumb|right|250px|''Achillea asplenifolia'']] *''[[Achillea biebersteinii]]'' *''[[Achillea brachyphylla]]'' *''[[Achillea bulgarica]]'' *''[[Achillea cartilaginea]]'' : Silver Spray Yarrow *''[[Achillea chrysocoma]]'' *''[[Achillea clavennae]]'' : Silvery Yarrow *''[[Achillea clusiana]]'' *''[[Achillea clypeolata]]'' *''[[Achillea coarctata]] '' *''[[Achillea collina]]'' *''[[Achillea cretica]]'' *''[[Achillea crithmifolia]]'' *''[[Achillea cucullata]]'' *Achillea decolorans = synonym of ''Achillea ageratum'' Garden Mace [[Image:Achillea clavenae0.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Silvery Yarrow (''Achillea clavenae'')]] *''[[Achillea depressa]]'' *''[[Achillea distans]]'' : Alps Yarrow *''[[Achillea erba-rotta]]'' : Musk Milfoil *''[[Achillea falcata]]'' *''[[Achillea filipendulina]]'' Fernleaf Yarrow *''[[Achillea fraasii]]'' : Filigree Yarrow *''[[Achillea fragantissima]]'' *''[[Achillea lewisii]]'' *''[[Achillea goniocephala]]'' *''[[Achillea grandiflora]]'' *''[[Achillea griseovirens]]'' *''[[Achillea gypsicola]]'' *''[[Achillea holosericea]]'' [[Image:Gemeine Schafgarbe, violett - gross.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Purple yarrow]] [[Image:Gemeine Schafgarbe, weiss - gross.jpg|thumb|right|250px|White yarrow]] [[Image:Achilleamillefolium2web.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Yarrow (''Achillea millefolium'')]] *''[[Achillea horanszkyi]]'' *''[[Achillea huteri]]'' *''[[Achillea kelleri]]'' *''[[Achillea kotschyi]]'' *''[[Achillea lanulosa]]'' : White Yarrow *''[[Achillea ligustica]]'' : Ligurian Yarrow *''[[Achillea lingulata]]'' *''[[Achillea macrophylla]]'' : Broad-leaved Yarrow *''[[Achillea membranacea]]'' *''[[Achillea micrantha]]'' *[[Achillea millefolium]] : Milfoil, Yarrow, Allheal, Thousand-leaf, Bloodwort, Carpenter's Grass, Cammock, Green arrow, Gordoloba, Plumajillo, Sneezeweed, Nosebleed, Green Adder's Mouth, Soldier's Woundwort, Dog Daisy, Old-man's-pepper *Achillea mongolica = synonym of ''Achillea sibirica'' *''[[Achillea monocephala]]'' *''[[Achillea moschata]]'' : Musk Milfoil, Forest Lady's Herb *''[[Achillea nana]]'' : Dwarf Alpine Yarrow *''[[Achillea nobilis]]'' : Noble Yarrow, Creamy Yarrow *''[[Achillea ochroleuca]]'' *''[[Achillea odorata]]'' *''[[Achillea oxyloba]]'' *''[[Achillea oxyodonta]]'' *''[[Achillea pannonica]]'' *''[[Achillea phrygia]]'' *''[[Achillea ptarmica]]'' : Sneezewort, Sneezeweed, Seezewort Yarrow, Bachelor's Buttons [[Image:Achillea ageratum corimbo.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Sweet Yarrow (''Achillea ageratum'')]] *''[[Achillea pyrenaica]]'' *''[[Achillea roseo-alba]]'' *''[[Achillea rupestris]]'' *''[[Achillea santolina]]'' *''[[Achillea schischkinii]]'' *''[[Achillea sedelmeyeriana]]'' *''[[Achillea setacea]]'' *''[[Achillea sibirica]]'' : Siberian Yarrow *''[[Achillea sintenisii]]'' *''[[Achillea sipikorensis]]'' *Achillea sudetica = synonym of ''Achillea millefolium alpestris'' *''[[Achillea sulpherea]]'' *''[[Achillea talagonica]]'' *''[[Achillea taygetea]]'' *Achillea tenuifolia = synonym of ''Achillea millefolium millefolium'' *''[[Achillea tomentosa]]'' : Woolly Yarrow *''[[Achillea tzsonii]]'' *''[[Achillea umbellata]]'' *''[[Achillea vermicularis]]'' *''[[Achillea vermiculata]]'' *''[[Achillea virescens]]'' *''[[Achillea wilhelmsii]]'' *''[[Achillea wilsoniana]]'' : Wilson's Yarrow {{Inc| A.
