Common White yarrow is a tough perennial wildflower with ferny foliage and flat clusters of small white blooms. Long known in traditional herbal history as a battlefield and wound herb, it also earns its keep in the garden by attracting beneficial insects and tolerating lean, dry soil.

The stems cut and dry well, holding their shape in bouquets and wreaths. Plant it where it can naturalize, stitch sunny borders together, and bring a quiet meadow feeling to the edges of the garden.

Scientific name: Achillea millefolium
Life cycle: Perennial
Days to bloom: 120 days from sowing
Plant height: 12-36"

Yarrow Growing Basics

Yarrow has been valued for centuries as both an ornamental flower and a useful medicinal herb. Native to much of the Northern Hemisphere, it produces broad, flattened flower clusters held above finely divided, fern-like foliage, creating an easy, natural look in cottage gardens, meadows, and perennial borders.

Its long bloom period, excellent drought tolerance, and ability to attract a wide range of pollinators and beneficial insects make yarrow one of the hardest-working perennial flowers in the garden. It is equally at home in fresh bouquets, dried arrangements, pollinator plantings, and low-maintenance landscapes.

Start seeds indoors about 8–10 weeks before the last expected frost, or direct sow outdoors in spring after the danger of severe frost has passed. Seeds may also be sown in late summer or fall, allowing natural winter conditions to improve germination in many climates.

Yarrow is a perennial, so plants often spend much of their first season developing roots before reaching their full flowering potential in subsequent years.

Yarrow seeds require light for good germination. Sow them on the surface of moist seed-starting mix and press gently into the soil without covering deeply.

Keep the growing medium evenly moist until seedlings emerge. Once established, harden seedlings before transplanting into the garden, spacing plants about 18–24 inches apart to allow good airflow and room for mature growth.

Grow yarrow in full sun and well-drained soil. It performs best in average to lean soils and generally produces stronger stems and heavier flowering when not overfertilized.

Once established, yarrow is highly drought tolerant and requires little supplemental watering except during prolonged dry periods. Deadheading encourages additional blooms, while leaving the final flowers of the season provides winter interest and seed for birds.

Yarrow flowers attract bees, butterflies, hoverflies, parasitic wasps, and many other beneficial insects. The broad flower clusters provide easy landing platforms for pollinators and predatory insects that help support a healthy, diverse garden ecosystem.

Harvest flower stems when most of the individual flowers within each cluster have opened. Fresh stems make excellent bouquet fillers, while flowers intended for drying are best harvested before they reach full maturity.

Bundle small groups of stems and hang them upside down in a warm, dark, well-ventilated location until completely dry to preserve their color and form.
