Achillea millefolium.
White yarrow, or common yarrow, is a native plant of simple, luminous beauty, deeply tied to the meadows, clearings and wild landscapes of our region. Fine and elegant, it deploys delicately cut, almost feathery foliage in a soft green that brings texture and lightness to the garden. All summer long, its slender stems carry wide umbels of small white flowers gathered into delicate clouds.
Seen from a distance, yarrow seems to float above the grasses, drawing a crowd of pollinators: bees, butterflies and beneficial insects find refuge and abundant food there. Hardy, resilient and generous, this perennial adapts easily to poor soils and dry periods.
It grows with a natural grace where many other plants struggle to establish themselves, bringing a country, soothing touch to ecological gardens and naturalistic plantings.
For centuries, white yarrow has also accompanied medicinal traditions. Recognized for its soothing and wound-healing properties, it carries an ancient history in which nature served as much to nourish as to heal. With its free, wild allure, native white yarrow evokes the great summer meadows bathed in light, the wind in the tall grass and the quiet beauty of plants that live in harmony with their territory.
