About This

• WHAT VARIETY AM I GETTING? Red Yarrow (Achillea millefolium rubra) is a hardy perennial with deep carmine-red, flat-topped flower clusters above fine, fern-like foliage. This 2-pack contains 4,000 heirloom, non-GMO seeds total, 2,000 seeds per pack.
• WHAT DO RED YARROW FLOWERS LOOK LIKE? Plants produce 2–4 in. flat-topped flower clusters ranging from dark pink to deep carmine red. Upright blooms rise above fern-like foliage for bold summer color in borders, cottage gardens, and meadow plantings.
• IS RED YARROW GOOD FOR CUT AND DRIED FLOWERS? Yes. Long-lasting flower clusters work well in fresh bouquets and dried arrangements. Harvest stems at peak bloom for cutting, or air-dry bunches for arrangements that retain their form and color.
• HOW DO I GERMINATE RED YARROW SEEDS? Surface sow or lightly cover seeds and maintain temperatures of 60–75°F. Germination typically takes 10–21 days. Start indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost or direct sow outdoors after frost danger has passed.
• WHEN SHOULD I PLANT RED YARROW? Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before your last frost or direct sow outdoors once frost danger has passed. Established plants are cold-hardy perennials across USDA zones 3–9 and return year after year in suitable conditions.
• WHAT GROWING CONDITIONS DOES RED YARROW PREFER? Grow in full sun with 6–8+ hours of direct light daily. Red Yarrow thrives in well-drained soil and tolerates sandy, rocky, and poor ground. Avoid overly rich soil, which can encourage weaker growth.
• IS RED YARROW DROUGHT AND HEAT TOLERANT? Yes. Once established, Red Yarrow tolerates heat and dry conditions with low to moderate water needs, making it well suited to sunny borders, slopes, meadows, and low-water landscapes.
• DOES RED YARROW ATTRACT POLLINATORS? Yes. Its open flower clusters attract bees, butterflies, hoverflies, and other beneficial insects throughout summer, making it an excellent addition to pollinator and wildlife-friendly gardens.
• IS RED YARROW DEER RESISTANT? Yes. Red Yarrow is deer resistant and generally disease resistant when grown in well-drained conditions. Space plants 12–18 in. apart for airflow and divide established clumps as needed to manage spreading rhizomes.
• HOW MUCH DO I GET? This 2-pack contains 4,000 Red Yarrow seeds total, with 2,000 seeds and 0.4g per envelope for a total net weight of 0.8g. Ideal for borders, cottage gardens, pollinator plantings, cutting gardens, and low-water landscapes.
