"Common Yarrow is a perennial with one to several hairy stems that grow to 100 cm tall from an underground rhizome. Its alternate, lance-shaped leaves are hairy and twice divided into fine leaflets, giving them a feathery appearance. Multiple flower heads are arranged into flat, dome-shaped clusters on flowering branches. Each head is made up of five ray (often with notched tips) and 5 to 25 disc florets. The single-seeded fruits are oblong, flattened, and lack tufts of hair." (Source Prairie Pollination Manitoba Museum).
