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 \u003cem\u003eHerba Militaris\u003c\/em\u003e, reflecting its long association with wound care and first aid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYarrow has a rich history in traditional herbal medicine, where it has been used as a tea, tincture and topical preparation.
