Yarrow Love Parade (Achillea sibirica) - This pink flowering yarrow is an upright, tufted, perennial plant that is native to Siberia which is why it is often referred to as Siberian Yarrow. It typically grows to 12 - 24 inches tall. Small flowers around 1/2 inch in diameter bloom in summer in dense clusters atop stems. Each small flower features dull white disk flowers which are surrounded by white rays. Yarrow grows well in sunny, hot and dry locations. You can plant Yarrow in mass, along flower beds or use as a border plant in the cottage garden.
Easily grown in average, dry to medium moisture, well-drained sandy loams in full sun. Plants do well in average to lean garden soils and tolerate poor soils as long as drainage is good. Avoid heavy clay soils and moist, rich, fertile soils. Plants tolerate hot, humid summers and drought. Try to avoid areas that have strong winds. For additional blooming, deadhead spent flowers. Cut plants back to basal leaves after flowering to tidy the planting and to encourage possible additional blooming late in the season. Divide clumps every 3 to 4 years when they become overcrowded.
After frost danger has passed, directly sow Yarrow seeds outdoors in prepared soil. Press the seeds into the soil. Thin Yarrow seedlings to 16 inches apart.
