Achillea millefolium, otherwise know as, Yarrow. Is one of my favorite fillers for our bouquet arrangements. I like how many stems grow from one plant, the diverse variety of colors, and the height Yarrow reaches by the end of the season. When I get out to the flower field, in less then a week, it is was of the first areas I plan to weed. I do not want to take any chances of the weeds overcrowding the yarrow plants! If you are unfamiliar with Yarrow, here is a picture. I will also post a picture later, showing before and after images when I weed! lol

Pandora, yes we have yarrow, and yes I love it! There is a native yarrow, white, that spreads like wildfire and I have to be constantly vigilant to keep it in bounds. We also have a red one, "Fire" something--can't remember the exact name--that is much more tame.
Yarrows make good dried flowers, also.

I was just looking at some Yarrow on Saturday. I tried it once and something went amiss, I think I just didn't care for it. I'd like to add some to my drought tolerant front yard, it is a good low water plant. Might have to get some soon. Oh and yes it does look like a good cut flower arrangement filler. We love growing cut flowers at our house. What a topical topic :D

I love Yarrow! I have Crimson, yellow, and white planted in my front bed. It's one tough plant, and after this bitter winter it's the only thing that's green, and mounding up nicely.

Yarrow is a hardy perennial with fern-like leaves.

Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) is indeed a fantastic choice for bouquets! Its abundance of stems, diverse colors, and ability to grow tall make it a standout plant. Weeding early is a smart strategy to prevent other plants from overcrowding your Yarrow. Keeping it well-maintained allows it to shine in your flower arrangements. I look forward to seeing the before and after photos of your weeding efforts – it’ll be exciting to see how much of a difference it makes!
