| Description | Yarrow is an incredibly widespread species, but is primarily found in mountainous habitats in Arizona. This plant spreads by rhizomes (underground stems) and can form large patches in moist soils. In low elevation gardens this plant should be grown in shade but performs surprisingly well if given extra moisture during the hot season. |
