www.whatsnative.com Achillea millefolium x ‘Fireland’ Achillea (a-kil-lee-a) After Achilles of Greek mythology who reportedly used it to staunch his soldier’s wounds. millefolium (meel-lee-fo-lee-um) Meaning thousandleaved, referring to the finely divided leaves. x ‘Fireland’ is named for Tierra del Fuego, the land of fire, and was introduced by Ernst Pagels. Zones: 4 – 9 Flower Color: Cardinal Red Height: 3’ Spacing: 18” About the Species: Common Name : Yarrow Family: Asteraceae Although native to Europe and Asia, Achillea millefoliums have naturalized themselves in every state including Hawaii and Alaska. They were cultivated in Europe before 1440. A similar species, A. lanulosa, also grows in North America and is referred to interchangeably with A. millefolium. The species flower is a white color and the green foliage has a fine texture. Its rhizomatous nature will spread into a large clump. Flowering occurs from June to August. Yarrows are an important nectar source for many insects, especially bees. They provide an important addition to fresh or dried flower arrangements. Cutting back after flowering will encourage re-blooming. Deer do not like the aromatic foliage but bears will eat them. Habitat: Meadows, pastures, disturbed areas, and along power lines throughout North America. In the Garden: Achillea millefolium is very adaptable to different soil types, preferring well-drained and lean soils. If the soil is too rich, they will tend to flop over. Achillea is not particular about degrees of moisture in the soil and is quite drought tolerant once established. It prefers full sun but will grow in partial shade. Use in the landscape in orchards, butterfly gardens, containers, mixed borders, maritime gardens (salt tolerant), or as a ground cover. Yarrow can be walked on as a lawn substitute or meadow, tolerating close cutting. Other Uses : Yarrow has been used medicinally in the treatment of wounds by stopping the flow of blood, and also to treat colds, fevers, kidney diseases and menstrual pain. As with all herbal medicines, always consult with a professional before using. Other uses include: as a repellant of beetles, ants, and flies, (including burning it to ward off mosquitoes); as an herbal compost activator; as a liquid plant food, as a cosmetic cleanser for greasy skin, or as a pleasant tea (the leaves); as a pleasant addition to pot-pourri (the seeds); and the flowers as a yellow or green dye.
