Red Yarrow Seeds, Achillea millefolium, 500 Seeds, Perennial Pollinator Plant

Red Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) is a hardy herbaceous perennial prized for its flat-topped clusters of vibrant red blooms and finely divided, fern-like foliage. Its long-lasting flowers rise above compact, spreading greenery, bringing bold color and fine texture to borders, cottage gardens, meadow plantings, and wildflower areas. Yarrow is well known for attracting pollinators, making it a useful addition to butterfly and beneficial-insect gardens.

This tough, drought-tolerant perennial is easy to grow from seed and returns year after year in suitable climates. The bright flower heads also work well in fresh or dried arrangements, and the aromatic foliage adds interest even when the plant is not in bloom.

Planting & Care

Sow yarrow seeds indoors in late winter or directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface and keep them moist, as light aids germination. Once seedlings are large enough to handle, thin or transplant them to their final spacing in a sunny, well-drained location.

Water young plants regularly during establishment, then reduce watering as plants mature. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering, and divide crowded clumps every few years to maintain vigor. Yarrow performs best in full sun with good air circulation.
