A few years ago a good garden friend gave me a perennial, but she didn't know the name of it. Never to pass up a free plant I gladly accepted it. I searched for the identity of this perennial for well over a year and resorted to the fact that I would never know its identity. Even garden centers couldn't help me out!! About a year ago(in growing seasons) I visited the horticultural garden located on the University of Wisconsin campus. In itself this garden is a delight and a must see garden. To my surprise, there it was in bloom and identified!! It has been referred to as similar to baby's breath but slightly larger. It is a member of the achillea family. One word of caution, it is a fast grower but can be contained. Enjoy!
