Yarrow grows one to two feet tall with feathery, fern-like leaves which have a strong, distinctive, not unpleasant smell. Small flowers grow in flat-topped clusters, most commonly white, less commonly pink. It is a popular cultivar and can be yellow, red and orange. The dried flowers are long-lasting and are often gathered for floral arrangements. Yarrow spreads from stout roots producing large patches of the fern-like leaves without flowers. It blooms all summer. The scientific name comes from the Greek character Achilles who is believed to have discovered the medicinal uses of this plant for healing his soldier’s wounds in the battle of Troy. Traditionally, Native Americans considered it a "life medicine" and used the plant as an analgesic and head cold remedy, for healing cuts and abrasions, relief from earaches, toothaches and throat infections, as well as for an eyewash.
