Seed Details
Drought tolerant, deer and rabbit resistant. Butterflies love this plant and will frequent it often. Dead heading will extend the bloom season as well as prevent the yarrow from setting seed. Used for centuries for medicinal purposes, these plants produce clusters of tiny pink flowers, on soft, lacey, aromatic foliage. Excellent for use in fresh or dried flower bouquets and grows well in poor dry soil. Herbal tea from the flowering plant can be made to treat colds, fever & indigestion. Yarrow has also been noted for its use in slowing external bleeding when leaves are crushed and wrapped around the wounded area. Native Americans depended on it for all of the above and more. If you haven't cut all the gorgeous flowers for your bouquets or medicinal harvests, be sure to dead head the flowers to prevent heads from going to seed as well encourage longer blooming. Easy to grow.
Instructions
