Description

(Achillea millefolium). This pollinator-friendly perennial comes in a cheerful mix of summery colors and is stunning in landscape and arrangements. The large, 2- to 4-inch flower umbels range in color from cream and lemon to raspberry, cherry, and salmon, making a stunning summer display. The 2-foot-tall plants have strong, sturdy stems that are ideal for floral design, but you'll want to leave plenty of blooms for the bees! This easy-to-grow, long-lived perennial can be tucked into cottage gardens, rock gardens, beds, and borders, or spread across meadows and prairies.

Growing Tips: Flowerburst Fruitbowl yarrow grows best in full sun, requiring at least six hours of direct sunlight daily. It grows best in well-drained soil but can also adapt to different soil conditions. It is quite drought-tolerant, needing minimal watering. Keep the soil moist, but not soggy.

When to Grow

Begin seeds indoors 8-12 weeks before the last expected frost date. Transplant seedlings outdoors after the frost danger has passed. In areas with mild winters, seeds can also be direct sown in early spring or late fall for successful growth. Check your region’s frost dates for an accurate planting schedule. 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

Indoors, surface sow the seeds and press lightly without covering, as light is essential for germination. Maintain a temperature of around 65-75 F while seeds germinate. When transplanting, space them 24 inches apart.

How to Grow

Yarrow does not typically require fertilization and is quite easy to grow. After the initial flowering period, prune the stems to encourage a second bloom and ensure the plants remain vigorous. 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.
