Yarrow (Achillea Tomentosa Golden Fleece) - Grow this delightful small variety of Yarrow from flower seeds. This low-growing Golden Fleece Yarrow is perfect for the front of the border, general ground cover plants, or in containers. It has a silvery fern-like foliage and brilliant golden flowers when in bloom. This little Yarrow plant is very attractive to bees and butterflies, and it makes a wonder cut flower and dries well too. Yarrow has very good drought tolerance and is adaptable to most soils. Fertilize sparingly as nitrogen rich soil will produce lush foliage production but less flowering.
Sow Yarrow flower seed indoors 6 - 8 weeks before frost season ends. Use starter trays or small pots. Press Yarrow flower seed into the soil but do not cover. Light aids germination. 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 12 inches apart.
