Achillea millefolium, commonly known as yarrow, is a flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. Growing to 3 feet tall, it is characterized by fernlike spreading foliage, small whitish flowers  on a tall stem, and a pungent odor.  It is reported to be deer resistant in many locations.  It attracts many pollinators and is beautiful in the garden and flower arrangements.

For best results, find a spot that receives sun throughout most of the day. While yarrow can thrive even in poor soil, it grows best in well-draining soil, so opt for a location that has good drainage.   It will spread and can be easily divided or weeded.
