Important Growing Note

Achillea includes numerous species and cultivated forms. Flower color, mature height, hardiness, fragrance, and flowering period can vary by species and seed line. The yellow color described here should be treated as a product-specific seed characteristic rather than a guarantee for every Achillea species.

Unique Facts About Seeds

  • Achillea is commonly known as yarrow and belongs to the daisy family, Asteraceae.
  • Yarrow has finely divided foliage that gives the plant a soft, fern-like appearance.
  • Flat-topped flower clusters can provide nectar and pollen for visiting insects.
  • Yarrow is traditionally associated with cottage gardens, meadow-style plantings, and naturalistic landscapes.

Growing Instructions

Planting Season: Start seeds indoors in late winter or early spring, or sow outdoors in spring after severe frost has passed. Fall sowing can also work in suitable climates.

Sowing: Prepare loose, well-drained soil or use a quality seed-starting mix. Scatter seeds over the surface and press gently into the growing medium.

Depth: Surface sow or cover with only a very thin layer of soil. Small Achillea seeds generally perform best when not planted deeply.

Spacing: Thin or transplant seedlings to approximately 12–18 inches apart to allow mature plants enough room to develop.

Sunlight: Provide full sun for strong stems and abundant flowering. At least several hours of direct sunlight daily is recommended.

Soil: Use moderately fertile, well-drained soil. Achillea generally performs well in leaner soils and does not require excessively rich conditions.

Watering: Keep soil lightly moist during germination and early growth. Once established, allow the soil to dry somewhat between waterings.

Germination: Seeds commonly germinate within approximately 14–28 days under favorable conditions. Light, temperature, moisture, and seed freshness can affect germination.

Transplanting: Transplant seedlings after they develop several true leaves and a healthy root system. Harden indoor-grown plants before moving them outdoors.

Fertilizing: Fertilize lightly only when soil fertility is low. Excessive nitrogen may encourage weak, overly leafy growth.

Care: Keep weeds controlled around young plants and provide good airflow. Cut back spent flower stems to maintain a neat appearance.

Flowering/Maturity: Established Achillea plants generally flower during the warmer growing season. Timing varies by species, climate, and growing conditions.

Harvesting: Cut flowering stems when the flower clusters are well developed. Allow some flower heads to remain if collecting mature seeds for future planting.
