Many small flowers form a roundish-topped dense cluster about 4 cm across.<\/li>\n<li>The fruit or seed is small, flattened, dry and hard.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Habitat: <\/strong>Common yarrow grows along roadsides and in moist meadows and openings in the boreal woods or the parklands. It is often found in disturbed areas where the soil has been turned over.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PlantWatch Pointers: <\/strong>If the plants are very abundant, mark a plot about one metre by one metre in size.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To Observe:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>First bloom: When the first flowers are open in the observed plants.<\/li>\n<li>Mid bloom: When approximately half (50%) of the flowers on the plants under observation are now open, and the other half are still unopened buds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Distribution Map:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/plantwatch\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2014\/09\/achillea_millefolium_map.jpg\" alt=\"Distribution Map\" width=\"auto\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>This species is monitored in:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Alberta<\/li>\n<li>Ontario<\/li>\n<li>Quebec<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote style=\"margin: 2% 5%;
