When to Grow

Start seeds indoors 8-12 weeks before the last expected frost date. Transplant seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. In regions with mild winters, direct sowing can be done in early spring as well. 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

Surface sow the seeds, pressing them lightly without covering, as light is very important for germination. Maintain a temperature of 65-75 F, and keep the soil moist but not soggy. Once seedlings have several true leaves and the risk of frost has passed, transplant them into the garden, spacing about 24 inches apart.

How to Grow

After the first flush of blooms, cut back the stems to encourage a second bloom and maintain plant vigor. Parker's Variety Yarrow is generally resistant to pests and diseases. In the case of spittlebugs, rinse them off or treat with organic insecticidal soap when the pressure becomes high.

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.
