Planting & Care
Sow Red Yarrow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors in spring after 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 germination, which typically occurs in 14-21 days at 65-70°F (18-21°C). Once seedlings have several true leaves, thin or transplant them to the recommended spacing.
Yarrow thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a deep root system, then reduce watering as plants become drought-tolerant. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming and prevent unwanted self-seeding. In late fall, cut back foliage to tidy the plant and promote healthy growth in spring.
