Yarrow (Achillea Tomentosa Aurea) - Grow Yarrow seeds for this delightful variety known as Dwarf Yarrow or Woolly Yarrow. This, drought tolerant, low-growing yellow Yarrow is perfect for the front of the border, general ground cover plants, or in containers. It has a silvery fern-like foliage and brilliant golden flowers when in bloom. This dwarf Achillea plant is very attractive to bees and butterflies, and it makes a wonderful cut flower and dries well too. Yarrow has very good drought tolerance; however, it is adaptable to most soils making it a great choice for xeriscaping. Fertilize sparingly as nitrogen rich soil will produce lush foliage production but less flowering.
Sow Yarrow seeds indoors 6 - 8 weeks before frost season ends. Use starter trays or small pots. Press Woolly Yarrow seeds into the soil but do not cover. Light aids germination. Keep the ground cover seeds moist until germination. Or, after frost danger has passed, directly sow Yarrow ground cover seeds outdoors in prepared soil. Thin the Yarrow seedlings to 12 inches apart.
