It is perhaps for these reasons that this plant was found, during a DNA analysis in Neanderthal dental plaque! Indeed, Yarrow was found in a Neanderthal grave discovered during archaeological excavations in Iraq. It is also an excellent host plant for garden beneficials.

MAINTENANCE AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Prune the stems after harvest to encourage regrowth. A harvest of yarrow from a spring sowing is possible from the second year of growth only. Sow preferably in pots, indoors, as germination of yarrow is difficult. However, possible in open ground. Place on surface. Do not cover as seeds need light to germinate.

Stachys byzantina is a perennial, woolly, gray-white herbaceous plant reminiscent of rabbit ears in its fluffy appearance. The lower leaves form a rosette from which emerges a stem 60 high. Some gardeners remove the flower stalks as soon as they appear (judging that they spoil the silhouette of the plant) yet the flowers have the advantage of being nectariferous and of attracting bees and butterflies. This low plant elegantly adorns all gardens by serving as a border or ground cover without being invasive. In Provence, it was called the "hand of God" because of its healing and vulnerary properties.

With its purple, pink and blue trumpet flowers, sweet fragrance and heart-shaped foliage, morning glories will add a romantic touch to your garden. This climbing plant grows quickly and is therefore ideal for decorating or covering structures such as a pergola. As its name suggests, the flowers prefer to open only when the sun is not too present, especially in the morning. We can therefore see them open in the morning, then closed a few hours later. Morning glories offer abundant flowering from July until the first frosts. Moreover, their magnificent flowers are just as attractive to our eyes as they are to butterflies and hummingbirds.
