Find answers about yellow yarrow seed germination, flowering, and growing conditions.
Some yarrow seeds germinate better when exposed to light. Sow them on the surface of a fine, moist seed-starting mix or cover them only lightly if the supplier recommends it. Keep the medium moist but not waterlogged, and provide bright, indirect light during germination.
Yellow yarrow may flower during its first growing season when started early and grown under suitable conditions, but some varieties flower more reliably in their second year. Flowering time depends on the species or cultivar, sowing date, sunlight, and growing conditions.
Many garden yarrow varieties tolerate relatively dry conditions and moderately poor soil once established. They generally perform best in full sun and well-drained ground. Avoid persistently wet soil, which can damage roots, and water young plants regularly while they establish.
