OTHER: Yarrow is a lovely flowering herb that is popular for its ornamental beauty, the benefits it brings to wildlife & gardens, & its wide variety of traditional medicinal / herbal uses.
The large fragrant 2 - 4” flower heads are made up of many smaller flowers, & attract bees, butterflies, and birds. Yarrow has a long bloom time, & both the flowers & fragrant feathery foliage are an excellent long-lasting selection for fresh cut flower arrangements & dried arrangements as well.
Yarrow is an important plant to a wide variety of insects, & it is a great companion plant for fruit & vegetable gardens. It repels some unwanted garden bugs while attracting the beneficial insects like adorable ladybugs who eat aphids & other destructive pests. Yarrow is also deer & rabbit resistant.
These plants tolerate drought, heat, & sun well, so work well in containers or rock gardens. The maintenance free Yarrow spreads by rhizomes & reseeds, so it is a great choice for naturalizing, & it is also used for erosion prevention. As mentioned, it’s perfect for wildlife gardens or near food crops, but has a neat enough appearance for any bedding specimen or border.
According to the ASPCA, Yarrow is toxic to dogs, cats, and horses, so please plant responsibly if your BFF is a nibbler.
