Format
Yarrow, or Achillea millefolium, is a perennial plant with finely cut leaves that give it an airy and delicate appearance, resembling floral lace. Its small white to pink flowers, clustered in umbels, bloom in summer, offering a display of lightness and grace. Highly valued for its medicinal properties, it combines wild beauty and practicality, finding its place both in garden borders and in traditional remedies. Its hardiness and ease of cultivation make it a valuable ally for gardeners seeking a natural and semi-wild space.
  • Easy to grow, yarrow tolerates a wide range of soils, even poor and dry ones.
  • It prefers full sun exposure for abundant flowering.
  • Drought resistant once established.
  • Little maintenance is required; moderate watering is sufficient.
    *Note: avoid planting in overly rich soil which can reduce the aromatic quality of the leaves.

Yarrow is used in herbal medicine for its anti-inflammatory, healing, and antispasmodic properties. Traditionally, it is used to relieve digestive problems, menstrual cramps, and promote wound healing. In cooking, its leaves can be used in small quantities to flavor salads or sauces, but its use should be limited due to its pronounced bitterness.
