Yarrow Seeds

The tough pollinator-friendly flower worth a spot in your garden

Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) is a hardy, easygoing perennial grown for its flat-topped clusters of tiny white flowers and its soft, ferny, aromatic foliage. A classic of cottage gardens, meadows, and pollinator borders, it blooms for weeks through summer and draws a steady parade of bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects. Each plant forms a spreading clump of finely divided leaves topped with sturdy flower heads that hold up beautifully as cut flowers and dry to keep their shape for arrangements.

How to grow yarrow from seed

Yarrow is remarkably easy from seed and thrives on neglect. Surface-sow the tiny seeds and press them into warm soil in a sunny spot, since they need light to germinate, and keep them lightly moist until they sprout. Thin or space plants about 12 to 18 inches apart; they grow to roughly 24 to 36 inches tall and settle in as tough, drought-tolerant perennials that ask for very little. For the full step-by-step, see our complete guide to growing yarrow from seed.

How to use yarrow

Yarrow earns its keep in the garden and the vase. Plant it in pollinator borders, wildflower meadows, and low-water landscapes where it supports bees and beneficial insects and helps fill difficult, dry spots. The long-stemmed flower heads make excellent fresh cut flowers and dry beautifully for wreaths and everlasting arrangements. Yarrow is also a traditional herbal plant with a long history of folk use, and its foliage adds a fine, feathery texture wherever it grows.

Yarrow and its cottage-garden companions

If you love yarrow, you will enjoy other easy, pollinator-friendly perennials and flowers. Try echinacea for bold coneflowers in the same borders, chamomile for another gentle, daisy-flowered herb, or a ready-made wildflower mix for a whole meadow.
