All of our Herb Plants are grown organically with certified organic potting mixes and fertilizers. Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) is a resilient and attractive perennial herb, traditionally used for its wide range of medicinal, ornamental, and ecological benefits.

Uses:

Medicinal: Yarrow has been used for centuries to support wound healing, reduce inflammation, and ease cold and flu symptoms. Often made into teas, tinctures, or salves, it is a staple in many herbal first aid kits.
Culinary: Young leaves are edible in small amounts and can be added to salads or soups for a slightly bitter, aromatic flavor.
Horticultural: Yarrow is a favorite among gardeners for its fern-like foliage, long-lasting flowers, and ability to attract pollinators. It also improves soil health and makes an excellent companion plant.
Cultural: Yarrow has a rich history in folklore and was often used in rituals and divination practices.

Physical Characteristics:

Height: Typically reaches 50cm to 1m in height.
Leaves: The finely divided, feathery green leaves give the plant a soft, textured look and a mild, pleasant aroma.
Flowers: Flat-topped clusters of tiny white to pale pink flowers bloom from late spring through summer.
Root System: A fibrous root system allows yarrow to spread slowly and establish well, making it excellent for naturalizing or groundcover.
