Planting & Care

Sow Cerise Queen yarrow seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors in spring after the danger of frost has passed. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; they need light to germinate. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged until seedlings emerge, which typically takes 14–21 days at 65–70°F (18–21°C). Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, thin or transplant them to 18–24 inches apart in a sunny location with well-drained soil.

Water young plants regularly during their first growing season to help them establish. Mature plants are drought-tolerant and require only occasional watering. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued bloom, or leave seed heads for winter interest and bird food. Divide clumps every 2–3 years in spring or fall to maintain vigor. Yarrow thrives in full sun and tolerates a wide range of soil types, making it a reliable choice for low-maintenance gardens.
