  • Description

  • Notes

'Cloth of Gold' is a yarrow cultivar with a stiff, erect habit, growing about 3 to 4 feet tall and about half as wide. It has elegant, deeply-cut, fern-like, deep green leaves. Foliage has a spicy odor when crushed. Flowers are yellow, plate-like, dense, clusters. Good as a cut or dried flower. Long summer bloom period may be extended by prompt removal of faded flower heads. An impressive perennial for a sunny border.
