500 Seeds Western Yarrow Achillea millefolium occidentalis Perennial Drought Tolerant Pollinator Friendly
Western Yarrow is a hardy perennial native wildflower prized for its flat-topped clusters of tiny white flowers and finely divided, fern-like foliage. Blooming through summer, it brings a soft, natural texture to meadows, borders, and wildflower plantings while attracting a range of pollinators.
This versatile yarrow works beautifully in cottage gardens, pollinator gardens, and xeriscapes, where its upright habit and long-lasting blooms add structure and color. The aromatic, feathery leaves form a low clump of gray-green foliage, and the flowers are well suited to fresh bouquets or dried arrangements. Its spreading growth makes it an excellent choice for naturalized areas and low-maintenance landscapes.
