Achillea nobilis

Achillea nobilis, commonly known as noble yarrow, is a perennial flowering plant in the sunflower family characterized by its soft-haired foliage and flat clusters of creamy-white to yellow flowers. It forms a low-growing clump in spring before producing flowering stems that can reach up to 75 cm in height.

Native to Eurasia, it is widespread across most of Europe (excluding Scandinavia and the British Isles) and extends into Turkey, the Caucasus, and Central Asia. The species has been widely cultivated and has naturalized in North America and other regions outside its native range.

It is cultivated as an ornamental garden plant valued for its attractive foliage and long-lasting flower clusters. Like other yarrow species, it may attract pollinators and beneficial insects to gardens.

In traditional folk medicine, various Achillea species including noble yarrow have been used as herbal remedies for digestive complaints and wound treatment.
