Achillea leptophylla, commonly known as Dwarf Yarrow, is a perennial herb that can be evergreen or semi-deciduous depending on the climate. It is native to the steppes and meadows of North Africa, Eastern Europe, and the Caucasus region. This plant typically reaches a height and width of 2-3 feet (0.6-0.9 meters), forming a dense clump of finely dissected foliage. The leaves are aromatic when crushed. Dwarf Yarrow blooms with clusters of small, yellow flowers from late spring to summer, which are moderately showy and attract pollinators.

Dwarf Yarrow is valued for its drought tolerance and ability to thrive in poor soils, making it a suitable choice for xeriscaping and rock gardens. It is also used in borders, as ground cover, and in wildflower meadows. It requires full sun exposure and well-drained soil to flourish. While it is low-maintenance, it can be susceptible to powdery mildew and rust, especially in humid conditions. Deadheading spent flowers can encourage a longer blooming period and prevent excessive self-seeding.CC BY-SA 4.0
