Achillea millefolium Open-pollinated. Perennial to Zone 2. Flat-topped white flowers bloom June–August with an odd alluring scent that attracts bees, butterflies and beneficials. One of the most popular herbs for colds and flu. A hot cup of tea from leaves and flowers induces a sweat to throw off heat and toxins. Also used to stanch internal and external bleeding. Avoid large doses during pregnancy. Grows 1–2', spreads slowly, preferring lean soil. Rich garden soil may produce lush 3' plants that need staking. We also carry ornamental yarrows. ~5,000 seeds/g. Especially attractive to pollinators.③

White Yarrow
Additional Information
Achillea
Perennial, Zones 3-10. Named for Achilles, who used it to stanch battle wounds.
Likes full sun and good drainage. Avoid rich soils. Cutting back spent blossoms will encourage another bloom.
Blooms June through September featuring 2–3" flat-topped flowerheads. Ferny green foliage is aromatic when crushed. Excellent filler for fresh and dried arrangements. Prompt removal of faded flowerheads guarantees a long season of blooms. Colors can fade out in extreme humidity but regular cutting will keep the blooms looking bright and fresh. It’s a sweet and easy early morning task to walk the yarrow path and cut quick bouquets. Plant 12–24" apart in well-drained soil, full sun to part shade.
We recommend White Yarrow (as plants and seeds) for medicinal use.
