Description:Yarrow, once established in a garden, spreads freely. Make sure you have it in a containable area if you plant! Wild yarrow flowers are usually white and domesticated are yellow, though some varieties of color such as red are available, too. This year our yarrow came up in a rainbow of color and we are not sure why! Our yarrow is organic.
