  • Appearance: Common yarrow is a herbaceous perennial plant that typically grows between 1 and 3 feet tall. It has feathery, fern-like leaves that are deeply divided into numerous small leaflets. The plant produces flat-topped clusters of small, aromatic flowers. The flowers are usually white, but they can also be pink or yellow, and they bloom from late spring to early summer.
  • Habitat and Range: Common yarrow is native to temperate regions of Europe and North America. It can be found in a variety of habitats, including meadows, fields, grasslands, and disturbed areas. It is known for its ability to thrive in various soil types, including poor, dry, or sandy soils. Common yarrow has naturalized in many other parts of the world and is considered a common roadside and garden plant.
  • Medicinal and Traditional Uses: Common yarrow has a long history of medicinal and traditional uses. It contains several bioactive compounds, including flavonoids and sesquiterpene lactones, which are believed to have anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. It has been used to treat wounds, reduce bleeding, and relieve digestive disorders. In traditional herbal medicine, it has also been used as a diuretic and for menstrual issues.
  • Ecological Importance: Common yarrow is considered a valuable plant for pollinators. Its flowers attract a wide range of bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects. It provides a nectar source and serves as a host plant for various butterfly species. Common yarrow is also known to have allelopathic properties, which means it can release chemicals that inhibit the growth of certain neighboring plants.
  • Garden and Landscape Use: Common yarrow is a popular choice for gardeners and landscapers. It is drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, making it suitable for xeriscaping and naturalistic gardens. The flowers are long-lasting and can be used in cut flower arrangements. Common yarrow is also used as a ground cover or border plant, as well as in meadow or wildflower plantings.

Care Instructions

Different plants have different watering needs. Check the soil moisture by inserting your finger about an inch into the soil. If it feels dry, water the plant until the water drains from the bottom of the pot. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot.
