I grow at least 10 kinds of yarrow at one time. I was just smirking the other day when I found a stand that was on its third round of blooming! Truly a plant that is as easy as pie to grow.

I did not know about its benefit to soil and compost. I will certainly change my ways to incorporate it back into my gardens.

Great article!

Great article Dave! I've never grown Achillea but after reading this article and looking at database photos I think I surely need it in my garden. I love the bright yellow varieties but WOW, 'Paprika' and 'Appleblossom' are really gorgeous!

When my husband created a long flower bed for me, the variety of seeds contained white yarrow. It is his very favorite plant (for someone who doesn't care about plants really), so I always kept a little of it around. But it was spreading so much, I had to pull a lot of it up.

Since that time 10-12 years ago, I have purchased another yarrow and I believe it is Tutti Frutti, but am not sure. However, I just love it and plan on getting even more.

Did not know of its benefit to the compost or that it could be divided and transplanted so easily. I will be checking out the garden centers next spring because I really would like to incorporate more of these long blooming beauties into my garden.

Yarrow is one of my favorites. It complements many other flowers. I agree with the white kind. All the others have much better manners!

Love that last picture Anna! Those two compliment each other so well

Yes, that was completely unplanned!
