Botanical Characteristics: White yarrow, scientifically known as Achillea millefolium, features clusters of small, white flowers atop fern-like, aromatic foliage. Each flower head is actually composed of numerous tiny florets, forming a flat-topped corymb.
Medicinal Uses: Historically, white yarrow has been used for its medicinal properties. It's known for its astringent, anti-inflammatory, and antiseptic qualities. It has been used to treat wounds, reduce inflammation, and ease digestive issues. Teas made from yarrow are often consumed for these health benefits.
Ecological Role: White yarrow is beneficial for ecosystems as it attracts a variety of pollinators including bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects. Its flowers provide nectar over a long period, supporting biodiversity in gardens and natural landscapes.
Ornamental Use: In gardening, white yarrow is prized for its hardiness, drought resistance, and ability to thrive in poor soil conditions. Its flowers can be used in fresh or dried floral arrangements, adding a touch of rustic charm. It's also used in landscaping for erosion control due to its deep root system.
