Description

(Achillea sibirica). A standout yarrow with extra large flower clusters that fade and blush several lovely shades of pink throughout the season. These 1.5- to 2-foot-tall plants have dark green, glossy foliage that nicely offsets the soft pink blooms. This clumping perennial is native to Kamchatka Peninsula, Siberia, Russia. The soft pink umbels are absolutely irresistible to a diverse range of beneficial insects and pollinators. Plant this yarrow in beds, borders, meadows, or the cottage garden, and the bees will follow.

Growing Tips: Love Parade yarrow grows best in full sun, requiring at least six hours of direct sunlight daily. It prefers well-drained soils and adapts well to poor soil conditions. Once established, this perennial is drought-tolerant, requiring minimal watering.

When to Grow

Begin seeds indoors 8-12 weeks before the last expected frost date. Transplant seedlings outdoors once the danger of frost has passed and the plants are big enough. Consult your local area’s frost dates for a precise planting time. 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 on the soil surface, pressing them lightly but leaving them uncovered, as light aids germination. Keep the temperature between 65-75 F for optimal germination. Keep the soil moist, but not soggy. When transplanting, space the plants about 24 inches apart.

How to Grow

Prune plants after their first bloom to encourage a second flush of flowers and maintain a tidy appearance. This variety is generally pest and disease-resistant but benefits from good air circulation to prevent 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.
