Golden Yarrow, Heirloom Herb Seeds

Golden Yarrow, Heirloom Herb Seeds — The Hardy Medicinal Perennial With Months of Golden Blooms

Golden Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) is one of the most versatile and beautiful perennial herbs you can grow — a hardy, drought-tolerant wildflower with fern-like aromatic foliage and massive clusters of 20–25 golden flowers measuring about 5 inches across that last for months in the garden. Named for Achilles, who legendarily used yarrow to staunch the wounds of his soldiers, this ancient medicinal herb has been valued for its astringent, wound-healing, and anti-inflammatory properties for thousands of years. Deep roots improve soil structure and draw up minerals, making yarrow a beneficial companion plant throughout the garden. Excellent for cutting and drying.

Growing Notes

Surface sow indoors 6–8 weeks before last frost — seeds need light to germinate. Press seeds gently into moist soil; do not cover. Transplant outdoors after frost danger has passed in full sun with well-draining soil, spacing 12–18 inches apart. Drought-tolerant once established. Blooms in second year from seed. Divide clumps every 2–3 years to maintain vigor. Deadhead to extend bloom season.
