'Parker's Variety' flower seed is an upright, clump-forming yarrow which is noted for its deeply-dissected, fern-like, aromatic, grayish-green to green foliage and its tiny, long-lasting, bright golden flowers which appear in dense, flattened, plate-like compound corymbs (to 4" across) throughout the summer on stiff, erect stems typically rising 3-4' tall. Foliage has a strong, somewhat spicy aroma which persists when used in dried arrangements. To dry yarrow hang it upside down in dry, dark, open, airy place.

This easy-to-grow perennial with vibrant flat-top flowers bloom in hard to grow areas. Sow flower seed at 70°F, do not cover (seed needs light to germinate). Best grown in lean, dry to medium moisture, well-drained sandy loams in full sun. Does well in average garden soils and tolerates poor soils as long as drainage is good. Avoid heavy clays and moist, rich, fertile soils. Plants are best sited in locations protected from strong winds. Taller plants have a tendency to flop in hot, humid southern summers, particularly if grown in less than full sun or in overly rich soils.

Deadhead spent flower heads to lateral buds to promote additional bloom. Cut plants back to basal leaves after flowering to tidy the planting and to encourage possible additional fall bloom. Divide clumps when they become overcrowded (every 3-4 years). 'Parker's Variety' may be grown from flower seed and may self-seed in the garden under optimum growing conditions.

Approximately 5000 seeds covers 300 square feet.
