Achillea millefolium is a herbaceous perennial blooming in June through September and grows up to a foot and a half tall and wide. The flowers are a bright pink. An easy to grow rhizomatous plant. This can be grown as a lawn substitute and mowed occasionally.
Yarrow has deep roots that mine the subsoil for potassium, calcium, copper, phosphorus and magnesium, which makes this plant a nutrient rich mulch.
