Yarrow Plants

Yarrow is an extremely hardy, low-maintenance, drought-tolerant herbaceous perennial that grows across almost the entire United States. It belongs to the large Achillea genus, which is native to North America, Europe, and Asia.

Yarrow Plants Requirements

Yarrow flourishes equally in the following growing conditions:

• Full sun or partial shade
• Cooler climates or heat
• High humidity or arid conditions

Because of its adaptability and easy-going nature, T.N. Nursery often suggests the yarrow plant for the most challenging growing conditions.

Yarrow Plants Appearance

The yarrow plant averages two to three feet in height at maturity. Each plant features glossy, dark green stems with graceful, six-inch-long, fern-like leaves.

Yarrow Plants Characteristics

The flowers appear in the late weeks of summer or early fall. Small, under one-inch-wide flowers with five ray-shaped petals emerge in abundance. They have yellow or light green centers. These petite blossoms form in dense, showy clusters of twenty or more. At first glance, they appear like a single giant flower.

Yarrow Plants Fragrance

The plant emits a pleasing, spicy fragrance that intensifies if you break open a stem to release its oils.
