Abstract

A new and distinct Achillea plant is provided that originated as a chance seedling from the open pollination of the ‘Moonshine’ variety (non-patented in the United States). Attractive fine silvery-green mature foliage is formed. The plant is early-flowering with the formation of soft light-yellow inflorescences that contrast nicely with the foliage coloration. The plant can be readily distinguished from the bright yellow inflorescences of the ‘Moonshine’ variety as well as other Achillea plants. A considerably more compact and shorter growth habit than the ‘Moonshine’ variety also is displayed. The plant is well suited for providing ornamentation in parks and gardens.
