Description
Yarrow has finely feathery leaves and flat white flower spikes that attract countless beneficial insects from June to September. In the garden it serves as both a soil improver and a medicinal herb—an all‑purpose plant for lean, sunny spots.
Care instructions
Sow as a light‑seeding crop in early April, spreading seeds thinly, or plant in a fully sunny, well‑drained location. It tolerates drought easily and requires no fertilization—over‑fertilizing can even cause it to topple. After the first flowering, cut back the plant; it will bloom again in late summer.
Companion planting
Good neighbours
