Achillea millefolium (Common White Yarrow)

From CONPS: This tough member of the sunflower family is a perennial with finely divided, bright green, foliage resembling a fern. Foliage is also aromatic, thus not a favorite plant for most herbivores. White, or sometimes pink, flat-topped flowers are held on upright stalks, usually 18" tall. Space about 18" apart in sun to part shade. Tolerates heavy clay and drought. Spreads by rhizomes. It will fill an area quickly, growing quite tall (to 36”) and spreading rapidly with its vigorous root system. Give it plenty of room so it doesn’t crowd out its neighbors too fast. Blooms in late spring and continues throughout summer. Nectar and pollen for bees and butterflies. Larval host for the Painted Lady butterfly, (Vanessa virginensis).

From “Native Plants for Birds” handout: Grows 2-3ft., prefers full to part sun and well-drained soil. Blooms late Spring to late Summer
Also good for: nest material, insects; host plant for moths. Feeds: Chickadees, titmice, orioles, warblers, jays, vireos, thrashers.
