500 Seeds Western Yarrow Achillea millefolium occidentalis Native White Wildflower Drought Tolerant Perennial
Western Yarrow is a native North American wildflower perennial known for its flat clusters of small white flowers atop fern-like, finely divided green foliage. Blooming through summer, it brings a soft, natural look to meadows, pollinator gardens, and wildflower plantings, and its feathery texture adds gentle contrast among bolder perennials. Valued for its hardiness and easy-going nature, it suits both new gardeners and seasoned growers seeking a dependable, long-lived native.
Western Yarrow works well in borders, cottage-style beds, prairie and meadow mixes, and wildflower seed blends. The white flower heads dry nicely for arrangements, and the aromatic, finely cut leaves form a tidy clump that naturalizes over time where conditions allow. It prefers full sun and well-drained soil, tolerates heat and dry spells once established, and can be left standing into winter for seasonal interest.
