Yarrow Whole

Yarrow is a flowering perennial known for its finely divided, feather-like foliage and clusters of small, fragrant flowers. Scientifically known as Achillea millefolium, it belongs to the Asteraceae family and has a long history in traditional Western herbal practices. The plant is native to Europe and Asia and is now widely established across North America and other regions.

Yarrow commonly grows in meadows, fields, mountain areas, roadsides, and garden settings. Its upright stems emerge during the warmer months, with mature height varying according to growing conditions. The plant produces flat-topped clusters of tiny flowers that may range from white to pale pink and are accompanied by its distinctive aromatic foliage.

Yarrow is also known as milfoil, a name associated with the plant's numerous finely divided leaf segments. Its botanical name, Achillea, is traditionally linked to the Greek hero Achilles. According to longstanding Greek mythology, Achilles used yarrow to tend to wounded soldiers, contributing to the plant's enduring place in herbal folklore.
