Achilléa sibirica var. camtschatica Love Parade is a unique cultivar, compact in shape with large flowers that cover the somewhat unusual shiny leaves.
The foliage is special here – it is long, narrow, leathery, and toothed, with a nearly shiny, almost satin-like appearance.
-
- These leaves are highly unusual for a yarrow and tell their own tale of how to adapt to one of the coldest climates on earth.
The flowers are spectacular, some of the largest in this family – presenting as large umbels of small pale pink flowers with a soft yellow center, which shift to white as the summer fades.
👨🌾GARDENING TIPS👨🌾:
-
- Yarrow is extremely drought- and limestone-tolerant, it really only struggles in heavy, wet soils > keep it well draining!
- This variety spreads laterally via rhizomes but remains non-invasive.
- And they look amazing in bouquets or dried flower arrangements.

The Tales:
This variety is particularly, particularly, particularly adapted to cold and frosty climates, hailing as she does from the Northeastern regions of Russia.
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 🙂
