Butterfly Garden by Mike MacDonald

Yarrow

[Yarrow picture] Yarrow provides nectar for both Skippers and Admirals. It germinates at 20° C in 10–20 days. Space 30 cm, height 75 cm. Highly respected as a medicine and used by at least 58 tribes in North America. In Sweden it was used to make beer and the brew was considered more potent than that from hops.
