Trustpilot Reviews
Most affordable source we've found for bulk yarrow
Outsidepride.com had the best price I've seen anywhere on yarrow seeds, which we are using as California native borders on a large yard and to cut out around rocks and fences. We were able to seed the entire project with one 5lb bag. Hoping also to prevent seasonal regrowth of allergic plants in the spring while minimizing environmental impact by using a native plant. Yarrow is also edible as a tasty bonus!

Fast shipping, always fresh seeds, high yields and gorgeous flowers for my Native CALIF. flower garden! I had so many native bees last year, some that I'd never seen before, and more than I could count! They went crazy for the Lacy Phacelia, a bee favorite-glad I bought 5lb bag and another 5 this spring! Not only bees but the hummingbirds and butterflies were delighted! I prepped and planted a much larger area this year so twice, possibly thrice, as many flowers should be coming soon to my garden, along with the pollinators! Also planted some night blooming native evening primrose seed for our local moths too! Already have tons of 3" high greens and it's only late February! Can't wait until late spring and summer! Tidy tips, both kinds of Phacelias, CA poppies, gilia, Even. Primroses, Clarkias, Nemophilas, Cosmos, Penstemons, Godetia, Coreopsis, Rudbeckia, Coneflowers, Cornflowers, Lupines, Yarrow & Herbs too ...a veritable feast for eyes, nose and 2-4 legged and winged visitors!

White Yarrow (Achillea Millefolium) - White Yarrow is seen growing in all regions of the United States. It grows very easily from Yarrow seeds, and it also spreads by underground roots. It is used in the flower garden or in natural settings. Wild Yarrow looks lovely in meadows, but care must be given so that it doesn't dominate and crowd out other wildflowers. Yarrow has attractive, fragrant, finely divided fern-like leaves and large flat-topped dusty white flower clusters. The Yarrow herb plant was also widely used as a medicinal herb. The Yarrow herb seeds were often grown to produce plants that were useful in the cure of wounds, and Yarrow was used on the battlefields to treat wounded soldiers.
