Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; they need light to germinate. Keep soil moist 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 to 12-18 inches apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWestern Yarrow is adaptable and thrives in full sun with well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep root system; thereafter, it is highly drought tolerant. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage additional blooms and prevent unwanted self-seeding. Divide clumps every few years to maintain vigor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e500 Western Yarrow seeds (\u003cem\u003eAchillea millefolium\u003c\/em\u003e var. \u003cem\u003eoccidentalis\u003c\/em\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67835990966582,"sku":"FOLIA2-1582","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7559028881_6uak.jpg?v=1793096955","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/western-yarrow-seeds-achillea-millefolium-occidentalis-native-white-flowers-500-seeds","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
