Is this plant Poison Hemlock? #873481

Asked June 17, 2024, 3:28 PM EDT

My husband and I are concerned that we have poison hemlock growing in our wildflower garden. I will attach photos. If indeed this is poison hemlock, how do you recommend that we eliminate it safely? Many thanks.

Hello,
No, this is most definitely NOT poison hemlock or a relative.  This plant is from a completely different family.  This is called common Yarrow (Achillea millefolium).  It is a common plant that has many cultivars used in gardens.
