Growing Guide

When to Grow

Begin seeds indoors 8-12 weeks before the last expected frost date. Seedlings can be transplanted outdoors once the danger of frost has passed and plants are large enough to transplant, If you’re not sure how to find your area's first and last frost dates, consult our blog post 'Our Experts Answer Questions, Share Resources.'

How to Sow and Plant

Sow seeds indoors by pressing them lightly onto the soil surface without covering, as light aids germination. Maintain a temperature of 65-75 F. Germination typically happens within 14 to 21 days. When transplanting them into the garden, space about 24 inches apart.

How to Grow

Yarrow does not typically require fertilization, as excessive nutrients can lead to floppy growth. After the first bloom, cut back stems to encourage a second flush of flowers. This plant is resistant to most pests and diseases but ensure good air circulation to prevent potential fungal issues.

How to Save Seeds

Dividing plants is the best propagation method for yarrow and should typically be done every 2 to 3 years to maintain plant health and vigor. Yarrow is a hardy perennial, meaning it does not need to be replanted every year, as it will return and thrive season after season.
