Yarrow

Yarrow is a common name for Achillea millefolium, a flowering plant in the asteraceae family that is native to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Yarrow has small, white, pink, or yellow flowers that form flat clusters at the top of the stems. Yarrow is a hardy plant that can be grown as an annual or a perennial, depending on the climate. Yarrow can be grown from seed or division and prefers well-drained soil and full sun. Yarrow should be watered moderately and deadheaded to prolong blooming. Yarrow is attractive to pollinators and beneficial insects, and can be used as a border, a ground cover, or a meadow plant. Yarrow is also known for its medicinal properties, such as wound healing, anti-inflammatory, and digestive effects.
