This gentle color was created with Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) ‘Moonshine’

Yarrow is an ancient herb revered for its spiritual, physical, and magickal healing properties. It is an herb of Venus and named for the great hero Achilles (achillea) and a thousand leaves (millefolium). Magically, yarrow is used for courage, healing, love, and clearing negative energy. Holding Yarrow in the hand is said to stop all fear and bring courage.
