Notes
Yarrow is a neat plant that spreads easily, so give it room. The flowers make a nice perch for butterflies, and when not in bloom, the leaves make for an attractive ground cover. Not to be confused with the Spreading Hedge Parsley, which is invasive here.
It cannot seem to handle any afternoon sun, even with supplemental irrigation. Plant it where it gets morning sun and afternoon shade.

We have Yarrow to spare! I can dig up some of ours for you to take home.
