yarrow

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'medicinal wildflower' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both plants as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'worry about a' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates anagramming the letters.
'worry' mixed up with 'a' gives 'YARROW'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for yarrow that I've seen before include "bloomer" , "Aromatic wild flower" , "This herb is strangely a worry" , "Herb; a worry (anag.)" , "Wild aromatic plant" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
