Editor's Note

Contact with Achillea along with exposure to sunlight has been reported to cause skin irritation. The symptoms are minor skin irritation that lasts only a few minutes.

We tend to err on the side of caution in PlantFiles, and the danger notation in the details above is to caution gardeners, parents and pet owners to look further for more information.
