What is the name of the yellow flower? I believe I have these... They start our fern like and bloom late summer? Mine also smell great. I have been trying to find a name for years!

The yellow flowers are called Achillea plants or more commonly known as Yarrow. They are a dependable, low maintenance perennial plant needing sun. They have fernlike leaves & come in a variety of colors. Yarrows are good for cutting & for drying. They will spread but is easily controlled.

They look like Russian Sage plants that are perennials & easy to grow. They do spread every year but very slowly. Love the combo.

The yellow flower is Yarrow, which comes in many colors and plant height. The yellow variety makes an excellent flower. Some varieties can be very invasive.

I think this Yarrow is the variety called 'Coronation Gold', which is a clump-forming type that will not invade the garden. It usually tops out at a maximum width of around 2.5'. The purple flower is probably perennial Salvia 'May Night' which grows to 2' tall or Salvia 'Caradonna' which grows up to around 3' tall. Agreed, it's a great combination!

I used Coronation Gold with Provence Lavender in a new bed this spring color combo is stunning.
