Yarrow is an excellent drought-tolerant medicinal and pollinator plant. It is a well-known first aid plant used for cuts and scrapes. It slows bleeding and disinfects the wound. The flowers can be used as a tea to break a fever and induce sweating.
Yarrow also makes an excellent hydrosol (think rosewater but made with yarrow instead). It contains blue azulene oil, a super healer for inflamed or irritated skin.
Flowers can be white or light pink, although they are usually most pink when they are just opening.
Yarrow is not picky about soil. It is native to North America, and is tolerant of dry and compacted soils.
Please note that there will be some plant matter (chaff) with these seeds.
50% of sales from this variety go to Sovereign Seeds, an Indigenous-led initiative dedicated to the revitalization of Indigenous seed and food sovereignty in so-called Canada.
