Achillea millefolium - Cultivar Affinity
ns: A large number of cultivars are listed under the name A. millefolium and are known
ns: seedlings of it. The species however ranges in color from white to pink through
ns: red. Any cultivar with orange, salmon, or yellow tints is almost certainly a cross to
ns: one of the yellow-flowered species - including A. filipendulina, taygetea, and their
ns: hybrids. We have assigned most of these "sunset" colored cultivars to the species
ns: rather than to A. millefolium to reflect this likely parentage. Similarly some cultivars
ns: have distinctly silver or greyed foliage outside the natural range of A. millefolium.
