Achillea millefolium ‘Tutti Frutti’ is known as a compact variety of yarrow, featuring peach-colored flowers and a vase-shaped habit.
The green, finely cut, aromatic foliage forms a compact clump with a light and feathery silhouette, fitting well in more rustic prairie-type settings as well as among more robust and voluminous perennials in a sunny flower bed.
The flowers of this variety are a soft apricot to peach-colored color.
Achillea millefolium can be planted in all regions, in sunny, well-drained soil.
Part of the Achillea millefolium (yarrow) family, it is prized for its drought tolerance, low maintenance, and ability to attract pollinators like bees and butterflies.
And it looks amazing in bouquets or dried flower arrangements.
Tips:
Yarrow has a well-developed fibrous root system and prostrate stems that root at the nodes and become far creeping stolons > this means that it can colonize an area quite quickly, creating a beautiful ground cover.
The plant has branched rhizomes that generally remain in the top 10 cm of soil > this allows for it to be tamed if ever the colonization is getting out of hand.
The Tales:
It was named after Achilles who used it to bind the wounds of his men at the Battle of Troy as the leaves have astringent properties.
Yarrow has been found with Neanderthal burials, suggesting its association with human species dates to at least 60,000 years ago
It has been used since ancient times to heal wounds and stop bleeding, and in the sixteenth century the crushed leaves were used to stop nosebleeds.
The Miwok in California used the plant as an analgesic and head cold remedy.
The plant contains a uniquely blue essential oil – today it is used widely for medicinal purposes, for happiness creation, for face masks, for hydration, for chasing away sadness… there is lots of research, just make sure to double check the sources!
Yarrow tea has and can be used as a sedative or relaxant to reduce anxiety and stress – it is a bit bitter though, so it isn’t for everyone 🙂
