Planting & Care
Plant your Pretty Pink Yarrow bare root in spring or early fall, when the soil is workable. Choose a location with full sun and well-drained soil. Dig a hole wide enough to spread the roots, place the crown just below the soil surface, and backfill with soil. Water thoroughly after planting and keep the area evenly moist until new growth appears. Once established, yarrow requires little supplemental water except during prolonged dry spells.
To encourage bushy growth and repeat blooming, pinch back young plants and deadhead spent flowers. In late fall or early spring, cut back old foliage to tidy the plant and promote fresh growth. Yarrow is generally low-maintenance and resistant to deer and rabbits.
