Common name:Common Yarrow, Milfoil
Botanical name:Achillea millefolium
Highlighting this perennial are spreading mats of fern-like rosettes, along with deeply divided leaves of a green or grey green color. In this form, the flowers are usually a white tone. Stems can reach 2-3ft above foliage.
The yarrow propagates easily from rooted cuttings or division, which should be performed in the early spring or fall. Following bloom, one should dead head the plant and divide the clumps when it appears crowded.
Putting the right plants in the right places in the right groupings is both the challenge and art of good landscape design.
