The story

The meadow weed, promoted.

Common yarrow grows wild across most of North America, which tells you how much help it needs. Ferny, aromatic leaves and flat white flower heads from summer into early fall, usually covered in small bees.

Light

Full sun, six hours or more. In shade it gets leggy and falls over.

Water

Water weekly the first summer. After that it handles drought on its own.

Planting

Plant in spring or early fall with the crown level with the soil. Average or poor soil is fine as long as it drains. Skip the compost.

It fills the dry, sunny spots where fussier plants give up.
