Yarrow
I’ve had yarrow of multiple colors. It seems to sprout up wherever it wants. Right now there is white yarrow growing between the cracks of the driveway. I love not only their colorful blossoms but their feathery foliage.




Which of these yarrow are your favorite?
One more day to go and A2Z 2025 will be over. Are you happy or sad about it?


Wow! So lovely, Li. Hard to choose a favourite but I would go with the second last photo. Love yarrow. 😍😍

HI Lisa, I don’t believe I’ve ever seen a yarrow plant before. I like the dark pink best.

I love yarrow too, in all its shades. I had a huge stand of it in front of the house, but somehow it seems to have died off. Must re-plant; it starts well from seed.
Yarrow used to be called Knight’s Milfoil. Apparently it is good for healing wounds made by metal, so warriors used to tuck it into their belts.

Good to know about starting from seed. I have bought the plants but seeds much cheaper. Very cool info on its healing properties :)

I love yarrow – it’s known as an herb of Venus. How fun you’ve had many colors of it. I think the fushia is my favorite.

Deborah I must have bought a variety pack at the greenhouse. The white just sprouted up on its own. I had yellow at my old house in the city. Herb of Venus very interesting!

And as a bonus you can cast the stalks for an I Ching reading.

Yarrow is a delight for the eyes I should really get more of it in my garden. @samanthabwriter from Balancing Act

Yes, you should! From what Josna said it’s easy to grow from seed.

I grew up in New England and Queen Anne’s Lace grows wild everywhere. Yarrow resembles it so I had to Google the differences.

I do like the bright pink ones the best! Yarrow is a fantastic medicinal plant, or it used to be. I included it in the book I’m writing so did a little research. I will miss the daily blogging, but my brain is sort of tired (haha).

Cool on you writing a book, Brenda. I understand about being tired. I actually think I’m going to take a break over May and June.
