OH! A WILD COMMON YARROW APPEARED!
Scientific name:
Achillea millefolium
Yarrow is a garden all-star with many medicinal properties including (but not limited to) its ability to stop bleeding, reduce inflammation, and aid indigestion. Its white flowers attract bees, birds, bats, caterpillars, and butterflies!
Did you know?
Got pest insects? Skip the pesticides and plant some yarrow! It’ll attract beneficial insects like parasitic wasps which, while harmless to humans, will parasitize and kill those pesky bugs free-of-charge.
