Yarrow (Achillea Millefolium Summer Pastel Mix) - If you want to attract butterflies to your garden, grow Yarrow flower seed and bring beauty and butterflies! This Summer Pastel Mix is made up of a wide range of colors: pink, rose, orange-red, purple, gray, salmon and mauve. Yarrow is a perennial, upright flower that blooms from spring until fall. The flower heads are 3 - 4 inches wide, the Yarrow plants spread 18 - 24 inches and reach 24 inches in height. Summer Pastel Yarrow makes a great addition to any perennial garden for mass plantings, borders, naturalized settings and cottage gardens. It also is a great cutting flower.
Yarrow should be planted in full sun and is tolerant to hot, humid summers. Yarrow can tolerate poor soil conditions, and does best in lean, dry to medium wet, well-drained soil. Avoid heavy clays and moist, rich, fertile soils. Remove faded flowers to encourage more growth, and divide Yarrow plants every 3 - 4 years.
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 16 inches apart.
