Yarrow? I've never even heard of it. Please tell me more.


Not sure how to respond. g A common weed, you probably do
know it if not by name. Latin is Achillea millefolium. Many medicinal
uses traditionally, a google will turn up scads of references.

As far as in lawns goes, I can witness that it competes very well with
grass and tends to stay quite green during drought. I don't use
chemical weed killer on my lawn, so I can't say whether that is
effective against it, but it is otherwise difficult to shift.

Again, I googled "yarrow lawn" and came up with a picture in the
first hit:
