Achillea millefolium — Common Yarrow.
Flat clusters of white flowers rise above ferny, aromatic foliage. Common yarrow fills gaps in sunny borders and brings small pollinators to meadow and habitat plantings.
Growing conditions
Plant in full sun or light shade in soil that drains. Water regularly while roots establish. Once established, yarrow tolerates dry periods, though occasional deep watering helps in hot inland gardens.
Expect flowering stems about 1–3 feet tall and clumps about 1–2 feet wide that can spread farther by rhizomes. Growth is generally moderate to fast in favorable conditions.
Landscape uses and care
Use in meadow drifts, informal borders, and pollinator beds. The flat flower clusters are accessible to small bees and beneficial flies. Trim spent flower stalks after bloom and divide or edge spreading clumps as needed.
