Yarrow has the potential to invade-I wouldn't want it near an  
irrigated hay field.  But in a garden, it's okay.  Lavender grows  
well in eastern Idaho, as do dill, fennel, sage, thyme, horehound.   
You can grow rosemary and basil, too, but I have to replant them  
every year-ymmv.  Almost all herbs do pretty well in sunny places  
with well-drained soil.  Wormwood grows like crazy in my garden, but  
it's sort of poisonous, so I would not suggest it if you have  
children who might decide to chew on it.
