Botanical name:Achillea millefolium
This Yarrow is found in snow as well as lower elevations. It is very common. It has a tight cluster of white flowers and typically blooms in the summer months. The leaves are green and do not drop (evergreen). It attracts bees and butterflies. Yarrows propagate easily from rooted cuttings or divisions, which should be performed in the early spring or fall. Following bloom, one should dead head the plant and divide the clumps when it appears crowded.

Incorporate compost 6" into your soil to retain water, reduce compaction, feed earthworms, and provide valuable nutrients to your plants.
Check your irrigation controller once a month, and adjust as necessary.
Most plants require only one-third as much water in winter as they do in summer.
Drip and other smart irrigation delivers water directly to roots, allowing no excess water for weeds.
