Common Yarrow is a hardy perennial with finely divided foliage and clusters of small white to pale pink flowers. It naturally grows in meadows and roadsides but also thrives in sunny gardens with well-drained soil. The plant self-seeds easily and can spread through underground rhizomes. Common Yarrow is highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects, making it an excellent choice for wildlife-friendly gardens. It also makes a beautiful natural cut flower. The young leaves have a slightly bitter taste and can be used in small quantities in salads, soups, and stews. Please note that the plant's sap may cause skin irritation or increased sensitivity to sunlight in susceptible individuals. Common Yarrow flowers from June trough November.
