Unit price perAchillea millefolium
The white-flowering form of Yarrow is the variety most commonly grown for medicinal use and has been valued by herbalists for thousands of years. Its botanical name honours the legendary Greek warrior Achilles, who according to tradition used the plant to treat the wounds of his soldiers on the battlefield. Over the centuries it has accumulated many common names including Bloodwort, Woundwort, Staunchweed, Knight's Milfoil and Herba Militaris, reflecting its long association with wound care and first aid.
This hardy perennial spreads from a creeping rootstock to form a soft, feathery groundcover topped with clusters of white flowers held on stems reaching approximately 40 cm tall. The blooms are highly attractive to bees, butterflies and other beneficial insects, making Yarrow a valuable addition to wildlife gardens and productive landscapes.
Yarrow has a rich history in traditional herbal medicine, where it has been used as a tea, tincture and topical preparation. It has traditionally been regarded as a blood-building and immune-supportive herb and valued for its soothing effects on the mucous membranes. The plant remains one of the most widely cultivated medicinal herbs in temperate regions.
In the garden, Yarrow is prized as a dynamic accumulator and compost activator, contributing potassium, copper, iron and sulphur to compost systems. Its aromatic foliage may also help deter certain insect pests, while its drought tolerance and resilience make it an exceptionally useful companion plant.

Planting / Sowing
Sow seed on the surface of moist seed-raising mix and lightly press into place. Do not cover, as light assists germination. Keep evenly moist until seedlings emerge. Transplant into a sunny position with well-drained soil, spacing plants 30–40 cm apart. Once established, Yarrow is highly drought tolerant and requires very little maintenance. Divide mature clumps every few years to maintain vigour.
Due to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.
