Yarrow lawn…

[Fordian]

About 1/4 of my suburban lawn, 8m x 4m in total, is covered in healthy yarrow, the rest is drought struck struggling grass. I’ve discovered people do have yarrow lawns! My mind is blown!

Anyone heard of doing this?

The lawn is light use, no kids or games, just sitting in deckchairs, access to the edge garden beds.

Would you?

I wouldn't because I managed to kill the yarrow that I had innocently flowering in a border. I also killed mint (which is virtually impossible). I have yet to kill grass though.

If you let it flower then yarrow is great for insects, much better than mowed grass. Low maintenance I'd imagine. I'd keep it and call it a wild flower meadow. I do find in mine sometimes yarrow does really well and then it disappears a bit for no known reason. But i would leave it, can't think of a reason not to.

I would let your lawn do its own thing.
I never use weed killers or scarify it or anything; it’s naturally colonised with plants that suit the environment.
Mine is a mixture of grass, moss (I LOVE the moss - it stays green and is lovely to walk in in bare feet) and wild flowers (daisies, birds foot trefoil, clover, self-heal, yarrow, buttercups, dandelions, plantains).
We do no-mow May and otherwise mow on a high setting every 3 weeks.

Thanks, everyone!
