Why Choose Yarrow?

Yarrow's timeless beauty and ecological importance make it a versatile addition to any garden. Its ability to thrive in full sun to part-shade, along with its adaptability to various soil types, ensures it can flourish in a range of garden settings, from borders to wildflower meadows.

Planting Tips:

1. Location: Plant in full sun to part shade with well-drained soil.
2. Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season to establish deep roots. Once established, reduce watering frequency.
3. Maintenance: Minimal care required. There's no need to deadhead the flowers, as allowing them to go to seed provides a valuable food source for birds. Leaving the stems standing in the fall offers overwintering sites for beneficial insects. If desired, cut back the stems in late spring after pollinators have emerged.
