Achillea millefolium

 

Yarrow is a deciduous perennial in the Asteraceae family. Enjoying full sun and a variety of
moisture conditions, it is often found in meadows, prairies, and roadsides. Deer tend to avoid this plant due to its low toxicity, so keep that in mind when planting if you have pets. Yarrow comes in a variety of colors, ranging from white to pink, yellow, and red among others. It is popular with bees and butterflies, which visit the corymb shaped flower clusters throughout summer.
