Each flower head is actually composed of numerous tiny florets, forming a flat-topped corymb. Medicinal Uses: Historically, white yarrow has been used for its medicinal properties. It's known for its astringent, anti-inflammatory, and antiseptic qualities. It has been used to treat wounds, reduce inflammation, and ease digestive issues. Teas made from yarrow are often consumed for these health benefits. Ecological Role: White yarrow is beneficial for ecosystems as it attracts a variety of pollinators including bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects. Its flowers provide nectar over a long period, supporting biodiversity in gardens and natural landscapes.

Grow White Yarrow from fresh Achillea millefolium flower seeds. White Yarrow will produce clusters of white flowers. Mature plants will reach a height of about 12 to 36 inches tall and will spread 18 to 24 inches wide. White Yarrow flowers are known to attract an array of beneficial insects, such as: butterflies, bumblebees, ladybugs and hummingbirds. White Yarrow plants will form single stems that branch off into smaller stems. Each smaller stem can develop clusters of flowers, ranging anywhere from 15 to 50 blooms per cluster. The leaves look similar to a feather, growing in a spiral formation. The Achillea plant can often be seen in floral arrangements and bouquets for their thick, colorful blooms and attractive foliage. Grown as a perennial flowering plant, White Yarrow will develop a deep root system, later returning the following year after all danger of frost has passed. The plants will flower during the Spring and summer months of May and June, later wilting. Greatly used in borders, flower beds and by the masses in a naturalized setting.
