Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs
Growing Tips
Common yarrow thrives in full sun, requiring at least six hours of direct sunlight daily. It prefers well-drained soil but can also tolerate poor soil conditions. Once established, it is drought-tolerant and requires minimal watering. Regular deadheading of spent flowers encourages continuous blooming and prevents self-seeding.
When to Grow
Start yarrow seeds indoors 8-12 weeks before the last expected frost date. Grow plants until they are large enough to transplant. Set out after the danger of frost has passed. Check your local area’s frost dates for a specific planting schedule.
How to Sow and Plant
Sow yarrow seeds on the soil surface, pressing them lightly without covering, as light aids germination. Maintain a temperature of 65-75 F during germination which takes 14-21 days. Once seedlings have several true leaves and the risk of frost has passed, transplant them into the garden, spacing 24 inches apart.
How to Grow
Yarrow requires minimal fertilization; excessive nutrients can lead to leggy growth. After the first flush of blooms, cut back the stems to encourage a second bloom. In the case of spittlebugs, rinse them off or treat with organic insecticidal soap when the pressure becomes high.
How to Save
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.
FAQ
Is Common yarrow invasive?
It can spread through rhizomes and self-seeding, potentially becoming invasive if not managed properly. Regular maintenance, such as deadheading and root division, helps control its spread.
Can Common yarrow grow in partial shade?
Yarrow prefers full sun but can tolerate light shade. However, flowering may be reduced in shaded conditions.
Is Common yarrow deer resistant?
Yes, yarrow is known to be deer resistant because of its aromatic foliage.
