Organic Yarrow (Devil’s Nettle, Milfoil, Nosebleed)

Yarrow is a classic garden perennial known for its hardiness. It can tolerate cold winters from zone 3, hot and humid summers and periods of drought. It prefers to bloom in sunny places. Yarrow has many medicinal properties. It has been used for centuries to cure a severe cold, to stop bleeding, reducing anxiety or for cleansing just to name a few.  The leaves and flowers can be picked in the summer or fall, to make a mild tea. Yarrow, much like comfrey, is a bio-accumulator;- acting as a mineral accumulator, a good source of nectar for bees, and can act as shelter for beneficial insects. It is also used as a good ground cover.
