Details

Yarrow is a hardy perennial with showy flower heads composed of many tiny, tightly-packed white flowers with fern-like leaves. Yarrow is an excellent plant for borders, rock gardens, or wildflower meadows. The flowers are excellent for cutting or drying.

Legend has it that yarrow (Achillea millefolium) was named after Achilles, the Greek mythical hero who used it to stop the bleeding in his soldiers' wounds. Popular in European folk medicine, yarrow contains flavonoids, plant-based chemicals that increase saliva and stomach acid to help improve digestion. Yarrow may also relax smooth muscle in the intestine and uterus, which can relieve stomach and menstrual cramps. The flowers, leaves, and stems of the yarrow plant are used as medicine. Yarrow is collected while in bloom.
