Yarrow features dense, flat-topped clusters of small flowers in colors ranging from white and yellow to pink and red, blooming from late spring through summer. Its finely divided, aromatic foliage adds texture and a soft green backdrop. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soils, yarrow is exceptionally drought tolerant and low maintenance, making it perfect for xeriscaping, wildflower gardens, and pollinator-friendly landscapes. The flowers attract butterflies and beneficial insects while the plant’s resilience helps it thrive in poor soils and hot conditions.
