White Yarrow Seeds – 500 Achillea millefolium Hardy Perennial Wildflower for Pollinator Gardens

White Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) is a hardy perennial wildflower prized for its flat-topped clusters of tiny white flowers and finely divided, fern-like foliage. Blooming through summer, it attracts bees, butterflies, and other pollinators while adding a soft, natural texture to borders, meadows, and cottage gardens. Its drought tolerance and adaptability make it a reliable choice for low-maintenance landscapes and wildflower plantings.

This easy-to-grow perennial returns year after year, gradually spreading to form attractive colonies. White Yarrow works well in pollinator gardens, cutting gardens, and mixed perennial beds, and its flowers are excellent for fresh or dried arrangements.

Planting & Care

Sow seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost or direct sow outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; they need light to germinate. Keep the soil evenly moist until germination, which typically occurs in 14–21 days at 65–70°F (18–21°C). Thin or transplant seedlings to the recommended spacing once they have several true leaves.

White Yarrow thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first season to help plants establish, then reduce watering as they become drought tolerant. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued bloom, and divide clumps every few years to maintain vigor.
