Yarrow is a herb that is a bit neglected nowadays. In the past salad made of yarrow leaves was one of the first salads that could be harvested and so it was in high demand. Here in Swabia it is tradition to eat a salad made of herbs collected in the meadows on Maundy Thursday. Yarrow is an indispensable ingredient of this salad. There is hardly another dish that tastes as good as this first salad of the season. In the garden yarrow is happy with almost every location as long as it is sunny or at most half shaded.
