Yarrow root ball

Yarrow is a perennial herb in the Asteraceae family, which also includes daisies, sunflowers, and asters. It is native to Europe, Asia, and North America and has been used for centuries for its medicinal and culinary properties.

Planting

Yarrow is a hardy plant that can be grown in most climates. It prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade. Yarrow is typically propagated by division in the spring or fall. To divide yarrow, dig up the plant and separate the roots into two or more sections. Each section should have at least one healthy shoot. Replant the divisions in a new location, about 12-18 inches apart.

Growing

Yarrow is a low-maintenance plant that is drought-tolerant once established. It is important to water yarrow regularly during the first year after planting to help it establish a strong root system. Yarrow can be harvested throughout the growing season.
