Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) is a hardy, native wildflower and the backbone of the traditional cottage garden. Beyond its feathery foliage and flat white flower clusters, Yarrow is a powerful "dynamic accumulator" that heals the soil by mining deep-seated nutrients like potassium and phosphorus. This drought-tolerant perennial is a premier nectar source for pollinators and a vital companion plant that improves the health of your entire garden.

Uses & Expert Tips

In the Kitchen 

  • Salads & Garnish: Use young, tender leaves sparingly for a mild, peppery, and slightly medicinal flavour—perfect for garnishing rustic savoury tarts or terrines.
  • Wellness Tea: Traditionally used in herbalism for its soothing properties; the dried leaves make a gentle, earthy herbal tea.
  • Heritage Healing: Historically known as "Stanchweed" or "Soldier’s Woundwort," Yarrow has been used since ancient times to help stem blood flow and soothe minor skin irritations.
  • Visual Styling: An excellent dried flower; the stems hold their shape and colour beautifully for everlasting interior arrangements. 

Expert Growing Tips 

A Great Companion: Plant Yarrow near your other herbs and vegetables. Its deep roots cycle minerals to the subsoil, while its nectar-rich umbels attract good bugs like ladybirds to keep garden pests like aphids in check. 

Pro Tip for More Blooms: To get the most out of your plant, cut back the flower stalks once they fade. This encourages a second flush of blooms in late summer. For a total refresh, you can even cut the foliage back hard to the soil level to keep it looking lush and green. 


Why Choose Our Yarrow? 

Our Yarrow plants are grown to be resilient, low-maintenance, and garden-ready. If you are looking for a drought-proof plant that supports local pollinators and adds a medicinal herb to your collection, this Milfoil is the perfect choice.

"These lovely folk had the unusual rosemary we had been searching for in lovely growth and good price. Feel more than confident to mail order from them in future too. Also, their Rau Ram (vietnamese coriander) has lovely subtle flavour that we'd never tried before ."
