Achillea millefolium

Europe.

Upright.

The deciduous leaves of Common yarrow are medium green, pinnate and matt.

Achillea millefolium forms white flowers arranged in umbels from June. These exude a pleasant fragrance. With the right care, re-flowering in September.

Preferred location in a sunny to semi-shady position.

The Common yarrow has good frost hardiness.

Standard container plant soil.
Normal soil.

Tubs, cutting, group planting, rock garden, bee pasture, medicinal plant, rose garden

Water regularly and allow the soil to dry out in the meantime.

- If the plant is divided every 2-3 years and weak roots and shoots are removed, the reward is better growth and flowering vigour!
- Rock garden plants love loose, well-drained soil. However, as this substrate stores little water, the plants must be watered regularly for several weeks after planting, especially in dry conditions, until they are sufficiently rooted.

The Common yarrow sets beautiful accents together with:
Wild chicory, meadow sage.

Planting: Autumn, depending on variety also in spring.
