Yarrow – growing in the garden

Sometimes a plant familiar from childhood can suddenly open up on the other side, showing its facets and potential that we had no idea about. I love to reveal such secrets and I am ready to share one of them with you in the article. We will talk about the yarrow, or Achilles, a simple and extraordinary wild flower on the one hand, and on the other, a modern plant with varietal diversity and advantages that go beyond the garden. But first things first…

All mysteries begin with revealing the meaning of a name. So, the Latin name for yarrow is Achillea. According to legend, it was given to the plant when the connoisseur of healing herbs, the centaur Chiron, gave it to Achilles, and he was able to heal Teleph with it, getting the desired guide across the sea to Troy. But the Russian name – yarrow – does not very truthfully reflect the truth, because even if you count all the smallest leaf segments, it is unlikely that there will be a dozen of them. Whereas there can be up to a thousand flowers on an adult bush. But these are all legends, but what does botany tell us?

The genus Achillea of ​​the Asteraceae family includes more than 100 species. According to some nomenclatures, this figure approaches two hundred. The genus combined perennial rhizomatous plants with erect stems that end in basket inflorescences and feathery felt leaves.

Popular types and varieties of yarrow

About 30 types of yarrow can be found in horticultural crops, differing in height and color palette. The most common and prominent representatives are:

Yarrow (Achillea ageratifolia ), which grows up to 15 cm tall and has grey-white leaves. Because of this growth, it is more often used as a groundcover on poor and stony soils.
Noble yarrow (Achillea nobilis) – plant up to 50 cm high, with double pinnately dissected leaves and yellowish-white flowers.

Achillea ageratifolia

Achillea filipendulina

Meadowsweet yarrow (Achillea filipendulina) , growing in a powerful compact bush up to 1–1.5 m high, is considered the tallest species. The leaves are bluish-green and pinnate, sitting on powerful stems. It blooms in large, very dense yellow inflorescences.
Achillea ptarmica yarrow (Achillea ptarmica) , or sneezy grass. It can grow, depending on the variety, from 45 cm to 1 m. It has narrow whole lanceolate leaves and pale white flowers collected in large double inflorescences.

Based on these species, many bright ornamental varieties have been created.

● Cerise Queen – blooms with large cherry inflorescences.
● Red Velvet – its inflorescences are colored in the tone of ripe cherries. It is considered the newest variety in the red palette and so far remains the best among them.
● Summerwine is a deep raspberry color.

Growing yarrow

This part of the story about yarrow will be the shortest, and for good reason, because for the gardener this plant is a “gift” in every way. Judge for yourself…

Grows well on the poorest and even sandy soils, in conditions of moisture and light deficiency.

1. Grows well on the poorest and even sandy soils, in conditions of lack of moisture and light. You can give him the most sun-exposed areas on which other plants are “baked”. But not yarrow! Even after a seemingly catastrophic drying out, the plant intensively restores shoots after only the first watering.
2. It is not damaged by any diseases or pests. It is extremely rare to observe aphids on it, but it does not in the least harm the decorativeness of the inflorescences and does not deform the stems.
3. This plant is very winter and frost resistant. It will not require any measures in preparation for winter.
4. Yarrow is easily propagated by seeds and division of rhizomes. Every 3-4 years, you can divide the plant again and again.
5. There is one more feature, someone will call it an advantage, and someone will call it a disadvantage. It all depends on the purpose of cultivation. Yarrow is prone to self-sowing and active development of nearby territories.

Yarrow is prone to self-sowing and active development of nearby territories.

Some will not like such aggressiveness and work to control its range. But those who want to breed a plant in large quantities or for cutting, will appreciate this feature. To prevent self-seeding, just cut off faded inflorescences in time.

Yarrow in the garden

Due to the variety of growth characteristics, yarrows are used in different ways in design. For example, the smallest species and cultivars are included in alternative flowering lawn mixes. They will also be good in rockeries and in the foreground of a mixborder. By the way, in rocky gardens there are often such areas where all other plants, except for yarrow, simply do not want to grow.

Another great feature of this plant is that it remains ornamental all season long.

Yarrow is an adornment of any flowerbed, flower bed and a good company in a group with perennials. From an array created from tall varieties, excellent backgrounds are obtained for other plants. And the best place, which is considered to be his by right, is the pharmacy and spicy-aromatic gardens.

An array made from tall varieties makes excellent backgrounds for other plants.

Whom will yarrow make friends with?

It is also worth talking about the successful tandems of yarrow with other perennials. This plant does not pull on the role of prima flower garden, so it is better for him to choose the right company. So, yellow-flowered varieties contrast perfectly with the blue flowers of delphiniums, aconite. Not the last role in such a successful combination is played by the silvery foliage of the yarrow. For varieties with delicate shades, it is better to choose the same company of white and pink flowers, such as astilbe or perennial anemones. Hot pinks pair well with blues and purples, such as lavender, catnip, allium, sage, mint, and chiste.

I also know from experience that yarrow is very friendly with various kinds of cereals. In such a company, small touching flowers look completely natural and modern at the same time.

Revealing the secret facets of yarrow

In the first years of acquaintance with the variety of colors of yarrow, I was very inspired by this interesting information and every now and then Nata him or she herself opened up new possibilities for him.

So, in addition to the benefits for humans, which I, with your permission, will omit, yarrow is an excellent insect repellant. Just by planting it near a bench in a recreation area, you can drive away most of the annoying mosquitoes and flies.

Yarrow can extract sulfur, potassium and calcium and many other trace elements from the soil, which is why yarrow infusion is used as a biofertilizer. The preparation of this remedy is very simple. Fill any container to the top with yarrow stalks and fill with water to cover them completely. Leave to ferment in the sun for about one week, dilute in a ratio of 1:10 and fertilize the beds.
If you add the remains of yarrow to the compost pit, it will accelerate the rate of decomposition of the compost.

Yarrow can extract sulfur, potassium and calcium and many other trace elements from the soil, which is why yarrow infusion is used as a biofertilizer.

And I also noticed that in the company with yarrow, even plants that do not show promise come back to normal. By releasing phytoncides, yarrow stimulates plant growth and protects them from certain pests. But on the contrary, there will be more bees and butterflies on the site, because this plant is a noble honey plant.

And, of course, teas… If you add no more than 10-15% of the total volume of yarrow herb to the herbal tea, this will significantly enrich the taste and usefulness of the decoction. It used to be used instead of hops to make beer and tinctures. And yarrow will be appropriate in pickling and pickling, such as mushrooms or zucchini, as a spice for fatty meat delicacies and salads. Yarrow grass in such dishes smells very pleasant, promotes digestion and even helps fight excess weight.

Yarrow can also be used both in fresh bouquets and as dried flowers for home decoration. By cutting off the branches at the stage of full dissolution of all flowers and hanging them in a secluded corner with flowers down, you can get a bouquet for all seasons. The brightest, and especially yellow, varieties retain their color best.

Yarrow can also be used both in fresh bouquets and as dried flowers for home decoration.

I will end the article with the words of Rudolf Steiner, the founder of biodynamic agriculture. He compared yarrow to a good person who has a positive effect on everyone around him. So, if your plants lack good company, plant a yarrow and your garden will be well looked after.
