Common Yarrow - Achillea millefolium
Yarrow is versatile and incredibly resilient perennial plant that will bloom from June to September. Considered naturalized in Ontario, it features feathery, fern-like foliage and flat topped clusters of delicate creamy flowers. Add a touch of old fashioned charm and beauty to your garden with yarrow.
Yarrow's benefits extend beyond its aesthetics, as it attracts a wide array of pollinators, including butterflies, bees, and beneficial insects. The nectar-rich flowers serve as a valuable food source, while the plant's dense foliage provides shelter and nesting sites for various wildlife species. Yarrow also acts as a natural pest deterrent, repelling unwanted insects from the garden and creating a more balanced ecosystem.
Caring for and planting Yarrow is straightforward. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it suitable for a range of garden environments. Yarrow is known for its exceptional drought tolerance once established, requiring minimal water once it has settled into its new home. Regular deadheading promotes prolonged blooming, while dividing the clumps every few years helps maintain plant vigor. A shady spot will result in a bushier form, while full sun results in a taller, upright plant.
