Common Yarrow |
Description
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.

Water Saving Tip:
Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.
