Known as Pearl Yarrow, Sneezewort Yarrow or simply Sneezewort, this plant features pure white 3/4 inch double pompom blooms that rise above shiny green foliage. The foliage of Pearl Yarrow is not the typical fern-like deeply cut leaves that are on most Yarrow plants. Pearl Yarrow leaves are lance-shaped and shiny. This Yarrow looks lovely growing in the flower garden, and they are excellent as dried or cut flowers and are very useful in arrangements.

This Yarrow plant tolerates a wide range of conditions. It handles the summer heat and humidity, and it grows vigorously in poor, dry soil locations where other plants fail. Yarrow plant care includes deadheading the spent blooms to encourage continuous blooming. Separate clumps every 3 – 4 years to keep plants healthy. Herbalists used the dust from dried flowers to snuff or inhale through the nose to induce sneezing (hence the the name Sneezewort) and clearing of the nasal passages. Historically, Yarrow herb plants were used for the treatment of wounds.
