Introducing Yarrow:
Yarrow is a multi-purpose species that has been cultivated for thousands of years! With many medicinal properties, it's fully edible, and has benefits that extend to the home and garden.
Yarrow, belonging to the aster family, shares a close kinship with chrysanthemums and chamomile. Thriving in sunny and warm environments, it is commonly found in meadows, along roadsides, and on dry, sunlit slopes. The plant features a simple, upright, and hairy stem, usually not exceeding 3 feet in height. Yarrow graces the landscape with its white blooms from June to September, while mountainous regions may display pink or pale purple flowers. Its petals form dense clusters in flattened arrangements, resembling feathers, and the plant exhibits rapid spreading. Notably, there is considerable genetic variation in the beneficial properties of this versatile plant.
