White Yarrow 4" Pot

White yarrow (Achillea millefolium) is a perennial flowering herb native to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. The plant has these lovely, delicate white (or sometimes pink) flowers that grow in flat- topped clusters. White yarrow is a beautiful and eye- catching addition to any garden or wildflower meadow. The leaves, flowers, and even the roots of the plant have been used for centuries in traditional medicine to help with everything from wound healing to digestive issues to respiratory problems. The plant is rich in antioxidants, anti- inflammatory compounds, and astringent tannins that give it powerful medicinal uses. Fresh or dried leaves of the plant can also be used in teas, tinctures, salves, and even culinary dishes. The flowers make a beautiful and edible garnish, and the leaves can be used to make a tasty pesto or added to soups and stews.
