Description

Achillea millefolium, or Yarrow, is a hardy perennial that is a favorite of many gardeners. This variety, Summer Berries Mix, has flower clusters in a mix of colors: salmon, yellow, white, pink, cherry red and cream. It grows easily from seed and has a long bloom season, summer through fall. Yarrow makes a great cut flower, and it dries well for use in dried arrangements. Start Yarrow seed indoors 6 - 8 weeks before the last expected frost date. Press the seed into soil, lightly cover it and keep the seed moist. With a temperature of 68F, germination is usually in 21 days. Grow Yarrow in full sun. It prefers well-drained soil, and it is usually deer resistant. Space plants 16 inches apart. In areas with long growing season, Yarrow can be directly started outdoors after danger of frost has passed. It takes 90 days from sowing to blooming. Deadheading promotes continual bloom, and the clumps should be divided every 3 - 4 years to keep the plant healthy.
