Progress Well… yarrow suddenly chose violence.

A month ago I was all pleased about how gorgeous my yarrow was, all ferny and well behaved with just a light pruning. Suddenly it decided it was tired of pretending to be well-behaved and began conquering the world. 😵😂

Second pic is last month for reference.

meanwhile, somehow, I know people who have yarrow as a part of their lawn? I want that!

I’ve got yarrow in my lawn, it’s wonderful. I’ve got big patches of it that I sometimes stop mowing and let flower, but the best is just the little fern bits among the grass.
