Planting & Care

Where to Plant

Sunlight: This perennial requires at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sun daily to maintain its sturdy stems and vibrant yellow color. While it can survive in partial shade, the stems often become floppy and the flower clusters will be significantly smaller and less intense.
Soil: It thrives in lean, well-drained soil and actually prefers "poor" ground over rich, organic beds. If you have heavy clay, plant it in a raised mound or add pea gravel to the planting hole to ensure water moves away from the roots quickly.

Watering Requirements

During the first growing season, provide about one inch of water per week to help the root system reach deep into the soil. Once established, Sunny Seduction™ is exceptionally drought-tolerant and rarely needs supplemental water unless the foliage begins to wilt or curl during a heatwave. Overwatering or inconsistent moisture often leads to root rot or weak, lush growth that cannot support the weight of the flower heads.

Pruning Tips

This plant blooms on new wood, so you should cut the entire clump back to the basal foliage in early spring before new growth emerges. During the summer, "deadhead" or remove spent flower stalks down to the next lateral bud to encourage a second flush of blooms and keep the plant looking tidy. This process is like a mid-season refresh that prevents the plant from putting all its energy into seed production.

Fertilizer Needs

Use a balanced, slow-release granular fertilizer once in early spring as new green growth appears. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers or late-season feeding, as this creates soft, succulent growth that is highly susceptible to powdery mildew and winter damage. Because yarrow prefers "hungry" soil, one light application per year is usually more than enough to keep it productive.

Understanding Our Container Sizes

At Nature Hills, our plants are sold in industry-standard nursery containers. You will notice we use the word "container" rather than "gallon." Container numbers follow a nursery trade size standard, not liquid volume. The number tells you the plant's size category and general maturity level. A larger container means a more established plant with a stronger root system.

Container Sizes

Quart

Plant age: 6 months to 1 year
Best for: Ground covers, perennials, ornamental grasses
What to expect: Our smallest and most affordable size. Well-suited for planting in multiples across a large area. Allow 1 to 2 seasons for full establishment.

#1 Container

Plant age: 1 to 2 years
Best for: Shrubs, perennials, smaller trees
What to expect: About the size of a large coffee can. A well-developed root system in a manageable size. Good value choice when you have time to let the plant grow into the space over a season or two.

#2 Container

Plant age: 2 to 3 years
Best for: Shrubs and trees where you want faster establishment
What to expect: A noticeable step up from a #1 in both plant size and root development. Good choice when you want visible presence without going to a larger size.

#3 Container

Plant age: 3 to 4 years
Best for: Most plants, most situations — flowering trees, shade trees, evergreen shrubs
What to expect: Our most popular size. Strong, developed root system. Plants in a #3 container make an immediate visual impact from day one. If you want a head start rather than waiting seasons for a plant to fill in, this is typically the right choice.

#5 Container and Larger

Plant age: 4 to 5+ years
Best for: Specimen plants, privacy screens, maximum instant impact
What to expect: Large, mature plants ready to make an immediate statement in your landscape. We also carry #7 and larger sizes for select varieties.

Why "Container" and Not "Gallon"?

Nursery container sizes follow an industry trade standard established for the nursery and horticulture industry. The number is a size designation, not a measurement of liquid volume. Actual soil volume varies by plant type, root mass, and growing medium. Using "container" is the accurate industry term. When you see #1, #2, or #3, think of it as the plant's size tier, not a gallon measurement.

Root Pouch Containers

Some Nature Hills plants arrive in a Root Pouch, a breathable fabric container made from 100% recycled materials. Root Pouches encourage denser root development through air pruning, which discourages root circling and promotes a stronger, more fibrous root ball at the time of planting.

There are two types. Knowing which one you have changes how you plant:

Degradable (brown or tan fabric): Plant the entire pouch directly in the ground. The fabric breaks down naturally in the soil over time.
Non-degradable (black or gray fabric): Remove the pouch before planting. Cut the bottom open with scissors, then peel the sides away. The fibrous root ball will hold its shape.

Not sure which type you have? Check the tag on your plant or contact us and we will confirm.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Yarrow is a hardy herbaceous perennial and should be planted in full sun and is tolerant to hot humid summers. Yarrow can tolerate poor soil conditions but does best in lean, dry to medium wet, well-drained soil. They can be adaptable to almost any soil with adequate drainage. New plants should be watered regularly and not allowed to dry out completely.

Deep waterings are better than frequent surface waterings, encouraging the roots to delve deep into the ground for moisture, and making them more resilient in the long run. Top-dress with a 3-4 inch deep layer of arborist mulch to not only make them look better but also hold moisture and insulate the roots best. Once established, allow your Yarrow to dry between waterings for best success because they despise soggy soil.

It's recommended to remove faded flowers to encourage more growth and divide the mounds every 3-4 years. Deadheading enhances their overall appearance and encourages the plants to rebloom. In spring, before you see new growth, trim away any of last year's stems to clean up the crown. Top off with a fresh layer of mulch or compost!
