White yarrow is also a very nice plant to dry. It even grows in the wild. That is where I first got my first plant. When it is ready to pick for drying it will be rather firm to the touch. If you pick it to soon it will just wilt and if to late it becomes a washed out color. Perfect picking gives you a creamy white shade.
I have some white yarrow that has just been hanging out beside some boxwoods for years. I'm thinking of moving it out to a sunny spot to make a 'yarrow lawn' where I'd rather grass not take over. Thank you for reminding me. Nell jean
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a neat idea, because it spreads really fast. You will get the first bloom time and then when you mow it off when it's done blooming it will return and bloom only shorter in the same year. Thanks for your comment.
