To plant yarrow seeds, start by preparing a well-drained spot in your garden that receives full sun to partial shade. Yarrow seeds require light to germinate, so sow them on the surface of the soil and gently press them in. You can either direct sow them in early spring or fall, or start them indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost. Space the seedlings 12-24 inches apart and keep the soil consistently moist until they sprout, which can take anywhere from 10 to 100 days.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
1. Choose a Location and Prepare the Soil:
Yarrow thrives in well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade.
Ensure the soil is not overly rich or moist, as this can cause the plants to flop over or become leggy.
Prepare the soil by loosening it and removing any weeds or debris.
2. Start Seeds Indoors or Direct Sow:
Starting Indoors: Sow seeds in seed trays or pots filled with seed-starting mix 8-10 weeks before the last frost.
Direct Sowing: Sow seeds directly into the garden in early spring or fall.
Light: Yarrow seeds need light to germinate, so do not cover them with soil.
Spacing: Space seeds 4-6 inches apart when direct sowing, or transplant seedlings 12-24 inches apart.
3. Watering and Maintenance:
Keep the soil consistently moist until the seeds germinate.
Once established, yarrow is drought-tolerant and prefers moderate watering.
Divide established clumps every 3-5 years to prevent overcrowding.
Cut plants back to the ground in autumn
