Product Details
Our yarrow plants are Achillea millefolium, common yarrow, a tough perennial with feathery leaves and flat clusters of small white flowers. It handles drought, poor soil and cold down to zone 3. Bare-root plants ship in packs of 25, 50, 100 and 500, for meadows, borders and wholesale resale.
Yarrow Size, Zones and Sun
Yarrow grows 1 to 3 feet tall and 1 to 3 feet wide, in zones 3 to 9. It wants full sun, at least six hours a day. Well-drained loam or sandy soil is best, and it takes poor soil, neutral pH and the odd wet or dry spell. Once it settles in, it is drought tolerant.
Yarrow Flowers and Leaves
The leaves are soft, finely divided and fern-like, medium green to gray-green, and they smell aromatic when brushed. White flower clusters open from June into September on the species we ship. Bees, butterflies and other beneficial insects visit, and deer and rabbits pass it by.
Where to Plant Yarrow
Use it in naturalized meadows, as a groundcover, in a low-traffic lawn alternative, or in a cutting patch, since the flowers dry well. Our easy border plants for summer list gives companions that like the same conditions.
Good to Know About Yarrow
Yarrow spreads by rhizomes and seed, so give it room or edge the bed, and deadhead to slow the seedlings. Wet, poorly drained soil can rot the crown, so avoid low spots. Our summer perennials wholesale guide covers more tough choices.
