Lawn
 
Urglers,

There is a perennial evergreen weed with creeping rootstock growing in many
lawns and it never seems to turn brown in the driest summer. Its leaves
grow all the smaller for regular mowing and I reckon a lawn entirely
composed of the plant would be marvellous. It is called yarrow aka milfoil.

Has anybody ever seen it used for lawns?

Regards

Ron

So is chamomile.
And, for that matter, so is grass.

The accepted definition of a weed is something growing where one does not
want it to grow. Ergo, if I want to grow yarrow somewhere special, it's not
a weed.

People giving stupid answers to serious questions might be termed weeds.
