White Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) is a resilient and adaptable perennial, known for its fern-like, aromatic foliage and clusters of tiny white or pink flowers that bloom from spring to early fall. This versatile plant is not only valued for its ornamental appeal but also for its historical use in herbal medicine, where it was used to treat various ailments, including fevers and stomach disorders. Its fragrant foliage and flat-topped flower clusters make it a popular choice for garden borders, fresh or dried floral arrangements, and as a pollinator-friendly addition to wildflower meadows.
