Common Yarrow |
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.
