1 White Yarrow Plant - Achillea millefolium Perennial Bare Root

White Yarrow, botanically known as Achillea millefolium, is a hardy herbaceous perennial prized for its flat-topped clusters of tiny white flowers and finely divided, fern-like foliage. This versatile plant brings a natural, meadow-like charm to perennial borders, wildflower gardens, and pollinator plantings. Its long-lasting blooms and drought tolerance make it a dependable choice for low-maintenance landscapes.

Yarrow attracts beneficial insects and adds texture and movement to garden beds. The white flower heads are also excellent for fresh or dried arrangements, providing interest well beyond the growing season.

Planting & Care

Plant your bare root yarrow in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Soak the roots briefly before planting, then dig a hole wide enough to spread the roots comfortably. Set the crown just below the soil surface, backfill, and water thoroughly. Keep the soil evenly moist until new growth appears, then reduce watering as the plant establishes.

Yarrow is low-maintenance and benefits from occasional deadheading to prolong bloom. Divide clumps every few years to maintain vigor. Avoid overly rich or poorly drained soils, which can cause floppy growth or root rot.
