'''''Achillea ptarmica''''' ('''Sneezewort''', '''Sneezeweed''', '''Bastard Pellitory''', '''European Pellitory''', '''Fair-maid-of-France''', '''Goose Tongue''', '''Sneezewort Yarrow''', '''Wild Pellitory''', '''White Tansy''') is a species in the genus ''[[Achillea]]''. It has loose clusters of white, button-like [[flower]]s that bloom from June to August. Its dark green [[Leaf|leaves]] have finely-toothed margins.

This is a hardy, drought-tolerant plant that prefers full sun and moist but well-drained [[soil]].

The name ''ptarmica'' comes from the [[Greece|Greek]] word ''ptairo'' (=sneeze) and means 'causes sneezing'.

actually happens to have the growth pattern of the Fibonacci sequence.
