Botanical Name: Achillea Millefolium
Country of Origin: Mexico
English Name: Yarrow Flower Powder
French Name: Fleur d’Achillée Millefeuille en Poudre
Also Known As: Common Yarrow Flower Powder
Part Used: Flowering tops (flowers with small portions of tender stems) of Achillea millefolium
Description: Yarrow Flower Powder is produced from the dried flowering tops of Achillea millefolium, a hardy perennial plant native to Europe and western Asia and widely naturalized across North America and other temperate regions. The plant typically grows between 30 and 90 centimetres tall, forming upright, slender stems with finely divided, feathery green leaves that create a soft, fern-like appearance. From late spring through summer, flat-topped clusters of small white to pale cream flowers develop at the ends of the stems. Harvesting is carried out when flowers are fully open to ensure consistent colour, structure, and botanical quality.
After harvesting, the flowering tops are carefully cleaned to remove natural debris. Drying is performed using controlled air or low-temperature methods to preserve the flowers’ natural pale tones and delicate structure. Once fully dried, the material is finely milled into a smooth, uniform powder. This process maintains the botanical identity of Achillea millefolium while creating a free-flowing powdered form suitable for blending and formulation.
The finished Yarrow Flower Powder displays a soft cream to light beige colour with a fine, consistent texture. The powder remains stable during storage, retaining its natural appearance and mild floral aroma. The powdered format allows for precise measuring, easy mixing, and uniform distribution across applications.
Uses: Yarrow Flower Powder is commonly used in tea-style preparations, powdered herbal blends, and botanical formulations where finely milled floral material is preferred. It is also suitable for cosmetic formulations, bath products, craft projects, natural colouring applications, and educational collections demonstrating perennial flowering plant characteristics. The powdered format supports accurate portioning, smooth blending with other botanicals, and versatile use in both home and professional environments, offering consistent quality and visually uniform floral material.
Storage: Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.
