White Yarrow Flower Seeds for Gardeners

Yarrow (Achillea millefolium), a flowering plant belonging to the Asteraceae family, is native to the northern hemisphere. In Spanish-speaking New Mexico and southern Colorado, it is known as "plumajillo" or "little feather" due to the shape of its leaves. Historically, yarrow was referred to as "herbal militaris" for its use in staunching the flow of blood from wounds.

This species is also commonly known by a variety of other names, including common yarrow, gordaldo, nosebleed plant, old man's pepper, devil's nettle, sanguinary, milfoil, soldier's woundwort, and thousand-leaf (as its binomial name, Achillea millefolium, suggests).

White yarrow (Achillea millefolium) is an excellent drought-tolerant perennial with golden yellow, tightly compact flower heads. Its feathery, fern-like foliage can reach heights of 1 to 3 feet, and it thrives in full sun. This plant is great for use in dry or fresh floral arrangements and can be grown as a perennial in zones 3-10.

Yarrow is known for its medicinal properties, particularly its ability to stop the flow of blood from wounds and soothe toothaches. It is also relatively easy to establish and can return year after year. These gorgeous white blooms are well-suited for use in bouquets and cut flower arrangements.

Native to the Northern Hemisphere, yarrow flourishes in full to partial sun conditions and prefers average to dry soil. Its adaptability and versatility make it a valuable addition to any garden or landscaping project.
