Achillea millefolium 'Common' Yarrow (NEW!)

This particular European variety of Achillea millefolium, commonly known as  Common Yarrow, Yarrow Official, was specifically cultivated for its high concentration of essential oils. It boasts an upright growth with slender, green or gray-green foliage and clusters of white, flat-topped flowers on 3-foot stems. Its rapid spreading is both advantageous for its medicinal purposes and ornamental appeal. These yarrows are low-maintenance and display abundant blooms throughout the summer and early fall seasons. They only require routine care including occasional watering (as they are drought-tolerant once established), trimming after flowering, and dividing when clumps become overcrowded. 

Great as a butterfly larvae (caterpillar) food and butterfly nectar plant.
