Growing Instructions
Sow Yarrow Indoors as early as a few weeks before last frost, up to high summer to give the roots enough time to establish as a perennial. Indoor sowing isn't necessary, as it germinates readily in the earth. Yarrow is hardy down to zone 4, and is not frost tender. Under ideal growing conditions, it will grow to be about 2 feet tall, and 2 feet wide. It thrives best in full sun, but will also produce a decent harvest when grown in partial shade. It prefers loamy or sandy soils, and doesn’t seem to be particular to PH, but does like the soil to be free draining of water, but quite moist at all times. These plants are drought, flood, deer, and pest resistant, and can provide one with high quality medicine for many years to come.
