Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs

Growing Tips

Parker's Variety yarrow grows best in full sun, needing at least six hours of direct sunlight daily. It prefers well-drained soils and can 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 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.

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

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

How often should I water Parker's Variety yarrow?
Once established, it requires little watering and thrives in dry conditions. Water only during prolonged periods of drought.

Can Parker's Variety yarrow be used as a companion plant?
Yes, its ability to attract beneficial insects makes it a great companion for vegetables and other flowering plants in the garden.

Can Parker's Variety yarrow grow in partial shade?
