Planting & Care
Sow White Yarrow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors in early spring or fall. Lightly press seeds into the soil surface; do not cover deeply as 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 a few true leaves, thin or transplant to 12-18 inches apart.
White Yarrow thrives in full sun and 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 continued blooming and prevent unwanted self-seeding. Divide clumps every 2-3 years in spring or fall to maintain vigor.
