Is white yarrow a perennial?
Yes. White yarrow (Achillea millefolium) is a hardy perennial, roughly USDA zones 3 to 9, returning and spreading a little more each year.
When and how do I plant yarrow seeds?
Surface-sow the seeds and press them in gently, since they need light. Start indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost or sow directly when the soil warms; germination takes about 14 to 21 days.
How much sun and space does yarrow need?
Grow yarrow in full sun with soil that drains well, and space plants about 12 to 24 inches apart. It thrives in dry, poor soil.
Is yarrow good for pollinators?
Very. Its flat flower clusters are a favorite of bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects, making it a standout for a pollinator garden.
How do I care for yarrow?
Water it while young, then let it handle drought on its own. Divide clumps every few years to keep them vigorous, and cut back after flowering for a possible second flush.
Can I use yarrow as a cut flower?
Yes. Cut the stems when the clusters are fully open, and hang them to dry for long-lasting wreaths and arrangements.
