About Achillea tomentosa L.

Scientific name: Achillea tomentosa L. Achillea tomentosa is quite similar in appearance to Achillea millefolium, also known as common yarrow. However, A. tomentosa typically has yellow ligules, more numerous disc florets, and straw-colored involucral bracts with translucent margins. Additionally, A. tomentosa is diploid, while common yarrow is polyploid.
