Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) Root Division

We grow yarrow for its exceptional pollinator support, rugged adaptability, and usefulness in regenerative planting systems. It's also an important fertilizer input too in our fermented plant juices. It thrives where many ornamentals fail, enriches habitat, and adds structure and long-lasting blooms to food forests and wildflower plantings. As a tough, beautiful, and multifunctional perennial, yarrow is one of the most reliable foundation plants for northern homesteads and ecological gardens.

Yarrow forms a perennial clump of finely divided, aromatic foliage that emerges early in spring. Upright flowering stems rise through summer, producing flat-topped clusters of white blossoms that persist for weeks. It spreads slowly through shallow rhizomes, creating a durable, drought-resistant carpet that rebounds well after foot traffic or trimming. In fall, the plant dies back to its crown and returns vigorously the following year.
