Dipsacus sativus
Teasel is a striking biennial producing tall, architectural stems topped with distinctive comb-like flower heads. Growing up to approximately 2 m tall, the unusual spiny heads bring structure and interest to cottage gardens, wildflower plantings and the back of garden beds.
The flower heads are excellent for dried arrangements and have a fascinating history of practical use. Once dried, cultivated teasels were traditionally used in the woollen textile industry to gently tease and raise the nap of fine cloth, their naturally hooked bracts being particularly well suited to the task.
Plants generally form a leafy rosette during their first year before sending up tall flowering stems in their second. The flowers attract bees and other pollinating insects, while mature seed heads can provide food for seed-eating birds.
Teasel performs particularly well in temperate climates and prefers full sun to partial shade with reasonably fertile, moist but well-drained soil. Plants can self-seed readily, so remove mature seed heads if unwanted spread is a concern.

Achillea 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.
