Achillea millefolium, commonly called common yarrow, is a rhizomatous, spreading, upright to mat-forming perennial that can be aggressive. Common yarrow from Europe and Asia was originally introduced to America in colonial times, and has since naturalized throughout the U. S. primarily along roadsides, fields, waste areas and lawns. The flowers are attractive to butterflies and other insect pollinators. Foliage has a strong, somewhat spicy aroma that persists when used in dried arrangements.
The genus name Achillea refers to Achilles, hero of the Trojan Wars in Greek mythology, who used the plant medicinally to stop bleeding and to heal the wounds of his soldiers.
The specific epithet millefolium means "thousand-leaved" in reference to the highly dissected foliage.
Common yarrow has a large number of additional common names, including milfoil, thousandleaf, soldier’s woundwort, bloodwort, nose bleed, devil’s nettle, sanguinary, old-man’s-pepper and stenchgrass.
Stem rot, powdery mildew and rust are occasional disease problems. Plant stems are weak and lodge easily.
