Sowing & caring for Yarrow
For a good start, begin sowing indoors between February and April. The seeds like it light: a very thin layer of soil is sufficient. Then simply keep them consistently moist to encourage faster germination.

From March – a little later in colder regions – you can also sow the seeds outdoors in small pots. A bright, rain-protected spot is ideal. Once the young plants are strong enough, they can be moved to the bed. Alternatively, yarrow can also be pre-grown indoors from late summer and then planted out in autumn.

A small tip: If the seeds are put in the refrigerator about a week before sowing, they often germinate faster. The cold stimulus is very beneficial for cool-flower varieties like this one.

In the bed, yarrow feels most comfortable in sunny spots. Water well, especially at the beginning, and provide light support if necessary – not much else is needed. The plant is robust, uncomplicated, and copes well even with drier periods.
