Common Yarrow

Common yarrow is a hardy California native perennial prized for its feathery, finely divided foliage and delicate, creamy white flower clusters. This drought-tolerant plant thrives in full sun and well-draining soil, making it ideal for water-wise gardens and native plant landscapes. Blooms appear throughout summer, attracting pollinators like butterflies and bees. Yarrow is low-maintenance once established, requires minimal fertilizer, and tolerates poor soil conditions. Its aromatic leaves have traditional medicinal uses, and dried flowers work beautifully in arrangements. Perfect for borders, meadows, and drought tolerant projects.
