It tolerates most well drained moderately fertile moist soils that are high in nitrogen and prefers an open sunny position and is drought tender but mildly frost resistant.

Common Yarrow is a hardy perennial that is grown in herbaceous borders or is used for mass planting. It is also grown as a spill-over above rock walls or as a container plant. It establishes from division in one season and is an excellent flower and foliage contrast plant. It is easy to grow but contact with the foliage may cause skin irritation. ID 1067
