Yarrow (Achillea millefolium)

Yarrow has showy spring and summer flowers on soft, evergreen fern-like foliage. Its leaves were used by Native Americans to stop bleeding and heal wounds and infections. Yarrow attracts butterflies, pollinators, and many beneficial insects and repels some insect pests, making it an excellent companion plant in vegetable gardens.

Native Americans historically made a tea from yarrow to cure stomach disorders.
