White yarrow seeds give rise to 2-3’ tall perennial plants with beautiful, dense clusters of snow white flowers and fine, ferny leaves. Some Native American peoples call yarrow “chipmunk tail” because of the foliage’s resemblance. White yarrow has many medicinal uses. In fact, the genus Achillea was named after Achilles who supposedly used yarrow to treat wounds, and the species name “millefolium” means “thousand leaves.” Yarrow makes a lovely ground cover, fresh cut flower, or dried arrangement. It spreads through rhizomes and by self-seeding. If you wish to propagate more yarrow by dividing the roots, do so in the spring or fall.

Yarrow is easy to grow by direct seed in nearly any soil, preferably a well-draining one. It loves full sun but can tolerate partial shade. It is a low maintenance, heat and drought tolerant flower. Yarrow blooms all summer and into fall the year after planting. If you start the seeds indoors early enough to give them a head start on the growing season, you may get flowers in the first year. While pre-treatment is not required, the germination rate of white yarrow seeds is increased with cold stratification. Press seeds lightly into the soil's surface as they need light to germinate.
