Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) is a widespread native plant in our area, flowering in late spring and summer.    It grows up from rhizomes with ferny foliage.   White flowers in “flat” clusters” can be spotted in a variety of habitats.    After flowering the flower heads turn brown as seeds begin to develop.    Most have white flowers, but a few may have a pink tinge.

Yarrow cultivars can have pink, yellow, orange, or red flower heads.   The plant is rugged and requires no special care.    We remove spent flower heads to avoid self-seeding  or we throw the flower heads down a steep bank where they are welcome to add new plants.   It is a welcome addition to our home garden.
