Pretty! I actually love the ferny foliage of true yarrow. Mine is also kind of aggressive but it's so easy-care and I love the flowers. I can always chop it back in the spring and keep it in bounds. So, now an update on my tansy situation: First, a thousand thanks to Mosswitch for telling me what it was, since I immediately Googled it and found out that there were probably still roots everywhere and I should go back out and dig it up again, so I did. Talk about a PITA! That thing had sent its roots out everywhere, over and under other plants' roots, and it was very difficult to get it all out. I *think* I did, and now I will always recognize and shun the evil tansy. Still like yarrow though!

When I had yarrow in OH, I cut it constantly. The foliage is excellent filler for flower vases, can make a single bloom look like a bouquet. The flowers stunk like gym socks, so as soon as they went past their prime color, off they went. This made them bloom a lot longer than the ones in my Mom's yard that were left alone.

Tina, Sorry about your yarrow loss. I understand that is easy to grow, does anything else in that bed show any signs of a disease or some other unknown cause? Is there anybody in your household that doesn't like your yarrow? Maybe somebody else will come up with a better answer. My neighbor has offer me some of hers but I'm going to wait till Spring to take it or late Fall I think, she said she is sorry she planted it . She is almost 84 and has a lot of health issues and is not able to take care of it anymore. It has been so hot this summer, that she hasn't even bothered any of her plants. I have a feeling, she'll have them all dug up and just do container gardening next year.

It's all in my lawn!!!! Ughh jk I'm not sure what color it is, as it just gets mowed down. The previous owner just let it go....and boy did it go. You can probably understand why I detest this plant and wonder why anyone would want this weed!!! (Lol)
