Scientific name: Achillea millefolium
Common yarrow is a perennial native to North Florida, including Alachua County, which is the southern end of its range. It forms white flowers and is a larval host for the painted lady butterfly. It likes full to partial sun and soil that is moist to soil that experiences short very dry periods.
The leaves were once a popular cooked leaf vegetable. Young leaves can be eaten raw or cooked, or added to soups. They can also be dried as an herb. Flowers and leaves can be used to make tea. They can also be used in gruit for flavoring & bittering beer, as was practiced historically.
