Yarrow is a clump forming plant that gradually spreads by underground runners. It's best to divide Yarrow plants every 2 - 3 years. Yarrow is a tolerant perennial, withstanding heat and humidity and even though it can tolerate some drought, it will look and perform better with a little water. Deadheading the faded blooms will encourage continuous blooming.

Keep Yarrow seed moist until germination. Or, after frost danger has passed, directly sow Yarrow flower seeds outdoors in prepared soil. Press seed into the soil and space 24 inches apart.
