Yarrow is a charming flowering herb known for its ornamental appeal, benefits to wildlife and gardens, and various traditional medicinal and herbal uses. The large fragrant flower heads, spanning 2 – 4 inches, consist of many smaller flowers and attract bees, butterflies, and birds. It boasts a prolonged bloom period, and both the flowers and fragrant feathery foliage are excellent for fresh and dried flower arrangements. The Summer Mix features a vibrant array of colors that are eye-catching.

Yarrow serves as an important plant to a range of insects and is an effective companion plant in fruit and vegetable gardens. It helps repel certain garden pests while attracting beneficial insects, such as ladybugs, who control aphids and other harmful pests. Additionally, Yarrow is resistant to deer and rabbits.

These plants are drought, heat, and sun tolerant, making them suitable for containers or rock gardens. Yarrow spreads through rhizomes and reseeds itself, which is ideal for naturalizing and erosion control. Although it fits well in wildlife gardens or near food crops due to its neat appearance, it is also perfect for any garden bed or border.

Please note: Yarrow is toxic to dogs, cats, and horses. If your pet tends to nibble on plants, consider this when planting.
