Clicky Poll: Yarrow
According BH&G Yarrow is a pretty ground cover that they suggest you grow alongside flowers such as blanket flowers. However, the National Gardening Association seems to be of the opinion that it is technically a weed. What do you think?
Re: Clicky Poll: Yarrow
How about both? All weeds are groundcover. Groundcover can be anything.
In my book, yarrow is a native wildflower.
But on the same hand, so are dandelions. And so is thistle, and I hate that stuff with a passion.
Both like the pp said. Unless it's invasive I'm fine with spreading plants as long as they are in areas that I can keep them somewhat contained.
I got a yarrow plant for free from our garden sale (they give away all the left overs to members at the end of the day). It died. I don't think it got enough sun. The problem is I don't have any full sun areas which it likes.
LIke pp, I think of groundcover as a low plant, and yarrow doesn't fit that category.
I dug a bunch of yarrow out of our city park because the city was treating it like a weed. They were too happy to have someone remove it, and I was happy to get a bunch of free plants. They're starting to bloom now and are beautiful!
