Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs

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.

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

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.
