About the Yarrow

This classic perennial is one of the best garden performers producing striking, green to silver grey, ferny, aromatic foliage with clustered corymb flowers in shades of yellow, red, pink, peach and white. The newer varieties develop sturdy, compact habits and excellent repeat flower power. Yarrow is an awesome pollinator plant, excellent cut and dried flower, and has good deer resistance. The more this flower is cut and used the more it produces!


Care Notes

Plant in well-drained, average to dry soil amended with organic matter like Petitti Planting Mix. Water well after planting; maintain 1” of water, once a week the first year. Use Plant-tone and Iron-tone in spring or at planting; apply Osmocote in summer after cutting back spent flower stems to basal foliage to encourage reblooming. Mulch 1-2” to suppress weeds and retain soil moisture. Lift and divide in spring or fall every 3 years. Propagation prohibited.
