Achillea millefolium, commonly known as yarrow, is a hardy perennial herb native to temperate regions of Europe and Asia. It typically grows 1 to 3 feet tall, forming clumps of finely divided, feathery leaves that give off a pleasant, slightly aromatic scent when crushed. The plant produces flat-topped clusters of small, tightly packed flowers in shades of white, pink, yellow, or red from late spring through early autumn. These blossoms attract a wide range of pollinators, including bees, butterflies, and beneficial predatory insects, making Achillea millefolium an important species for ecological gardens and natural landscapes. Adaptable and resilient, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, tolerating drought, poor fertility, and a variety of environmental conditions. A. millefolium is valued for its ornamental beauty and ease of cultivation. Its fern-like foliage and long-lasting flower clusters make it ideal for borders, rock gardens, meadows, and pollinator habitats, while its ability to naturalize gracefully ensures its enduring presence in wild and cultivated settings alike.
