Yarrow is a beautiful and versatile flowering herb revered for its ornamental qualities and ecological benefits. The plant produces large, fragrant flower heads, each 2 – 4 inches wide, composed of numerous small blossoms that are known to attract bees, butterflies, and birds. Boasting a long flowering period, Yarrow’s feathery foliage and blooms are perfect for fresh cut arrangements as well as dried floral displays.

This herb is not only a garden favorite but also a crucial element in supporting local wildlife. It serves as an excellent companion plant amidst fruit and vegetable patches, repelling some pests while attracting beneficial insects like ladybugs. Additionally, Yarrow’s resilience to drought, heat, and sun exposure makes it an ideal candidate for container gardening or rocky settings.

Often used in efforts to control erosion, Yarrow naturally spreads through rhizomes and seeds, facilitating easy naturalization in various landscapes. While highly beneficial to ecosystems and aesthetically pleasing for ornamental gardening, Yarrow is also considered toxic to dogs, cats, and horses. Planting locations should be chosen with caution if pets are likely to interact with the plant.
