Description
Description

Common Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) is a hardy perennial wildflower recognized for its flat-topped clusters of tiny, tightly packed blooms, typically white but sometimes pink or pale lavender. Its finely divided, feathery foliage—often likened to fern fronds—gives the plant a delicate texture despite its rugged nature. Also known as milfoil or soldier’s woundwort, it is native to temperate regions across the Northern Hemisphere and thrives in meadows, grasslands, and open woodlands.

Yarrow has long been valued in traditional medicine, particularly for its reputed healing properties, and carries a rich legacy in folklore and symbolism tied to protection and resilience. Its nectar-rich flowers attract a variety of pollinators, while its foliage provides habitat for beneficial insects. Adaptable and long-blooming, Common Yarrow plays both an ecological and ornamental role, lending a soft yet structured presence to wildflower plantings, prairie restorations, and naturalized landscapes.
