Description

White Yarrow is a classic, versatile, and incredibly tough perennial that brings a cloud of delicate, pure white flowers to the summer garden. It forms a spreading mat of finely dissected, fern-like, aromatic green foliage. From early to late summer, it produces an abundance of flat-topped clusters of tiny white flowers held on sturdy, upright stems. A champion of drought, poor soil, and neglect, it naturalizes easily and is a vital plant for pollinators. Its timeless beauty and resilience make it ideal for cottage gardens, meadows, and low-maintenance landscapes.

  • Abundant Flat White Flower Clusters: Produces masses of large, lacy, pure white flower heads that are excellent for fresh or dried arrangements.

  • Fern-Like Aromatic Foliage: The finely cut, green leaves release a pleasant, spicy fragrance when brushed or crushed.

  • Extremely Drought Tolerant & Adaptable: Thrives in hot, dry, sandy, or poor soils with minimal water once established.

  • Pollinator Powerhouse: A top nectar source that attracts a wide variety of butterflies, bees, and beneficial insects.

  • Naturalizing & Low Maintenance: Spreads steadily by rhizomes and self-seeding to form attractive colonies; requires very little care.

Faqs

Q: Is it invasive?
A: It can be aggressively spreading due to both rhizomatous growth and self-seeding. In a formal border, it may require management. To control spread: 1) Deadhead flowers before they set seed. 2) Dig up and divide encroaching rhizomes in spring or fall. It is best used in naturalized areas, meadows, or where it has room to roam.

Q: How do I use it as a cut flower?
A: Cut stems when flowers are fully open but before the centers begin to brown. For drying, hang small bunches upside down in a warm, dark, well-ventilated area. The dried flowers and foliage retain their shape and color beautifully.
