Oertel's Rose Yarrow is a basal-clumping herbaceous perennial with delicate, aromatic fern-like foliage. Flat clusters of magenta-pink flowers on stiff stalks rise above the foliage in summer. An excellent cut flower that retains color when dried. Heat and drought tolerant. Prefers full sun and well-drained soils.
Yarrow has a high reputation for its various medicinal uses and is often used in teas. It can be used to treat colds, fevers, anti-inflammatory, and digestive health. It can also be used as a topical ointment for quickening the healing of wounds. Not recommended during pregnancy*
