Yarrow Seeds

Yarrow is a hardy perennial known for its feathery foliage and clusters of long-lasting blooms in shades of pink, white, yellow, and red. Loved by pollinators, yarrow brings texture and color to garden borders, cutting gardens, and naturalized landscapes. It thrives in poor soil, requires little maintenance, and blooms reliably from early summer through fall, making it an essential choice for low-maintenance, drought-tolerant gardens.

How do I grow Yarrow from seed?

In order to grow Yarrow from seed, you need to start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost or sow them directly outdoors once the soil has warmed. Lightly press seeds into the surface of well-drained soil without covering them deeply, as yarrow needs light to germinate. Keep the soil consistently moist until seedlings appear, then thin plants to allow for air circulation. Once established, yarrow tolerates dry conditions and thrives in full sun. Deadheading will promote fresh blooms throughout the season.
