Achillee a feuilles de fougere

Achillea filipendulina
Une vivace haute, amatrice de soleil et tolerante a la secheresse, de la famille des marguerites, cultivee pour ses larges corymbes plats de minuscules fleurs jaune dore portes sur des tiges rigides au-dessus d'un feuillage aromatique, finement decoupe et vert gris, semblable a une fougere. Originaire du Caucase, d'Iran et d'Afghanistan et naturalisee de longue date dans les jardins du monde entier, elle forme une touffe dressee et nette (plutot que de courir comme l'achillee millefeuille) et figure parmi les plantes pollinisatrices et a fleurs coupees les plus fiables et les plus faciles a vivre pour les massifs chauds, secs et en plein soleil.

Cold hardiness

Future
These values are location-based: this location's current hardiness is the baseline, and the 2050 value is a projected future climate for this same location.
Now
Zone 6b
USDA
Published baseline for this location from 1991-2020.

Well-suited
2050
Zone 7a
Plotwright
Projected zone for this same location in 2050 (2041-2070) using SSP3-7.0 (regional rivalry).
Well-suited
In plain terms: This location is in Zone 6b today. Its hardiness profile is cold winters, and coldest nights are typically around -3°F. By 2050, the projected hardiness zone is Zone 7a based on SSP3-7.0 (regional rivalry). That is a +0.5-zone shift from Zone 6b to Zone 7a by 2050.
Well-suited today and still thriving in 2050.

Heat tolerance

Future
Heat tolerance values are location-based too: heat days today are observed at this site, and the 2050 value projects this same location under a future climate.
