Planting & Care Instructions

Where to Plant

  • Sunlight: This perennial thrives in full sun and requires at least 6 to 8 hours of direct light daily. While it can handle very light afternoon shade in exceptionally hot climates, full sun ensures the sturdiest stems and the most vibrant, deep red flower color.
  • Soil: It prefers lean to average soil that drains quickly. If you have heavy clay, plant it in a raised bed or a mound of soil mixed with compost to prevent wet feet, which can lead to root rot.

Watering Requirements

During the first growing season, water your Yarrow twice a week to help the root system reach deep into the soil. Once it is mature and established, it is remarkably drought tolerant and usually only needs supplemental water during long stretches of extreme heat or if the foliage begins to wilt. Avoid overwatering or inconsistent soaking, as too much moisture can cause the plant to become floppy and lose its compact shape.

Pruning Tips

This plant blooms on new wood, so you should cut the entire plant back to the basal foliage in early spring before new growth starts. Deadheading spent flower clusters throughout the summer encourages a second flush of blooms and keeps the plant looking tidy. Think of deadheading like a quick trim that tells the plant to stop making seeds and start making more flowers instead.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a thin layer of compost or a balanced, slow release fertilizer once in early spring as new growth emerges. Avoid using high nitrogen fertilizers late in the summer because they stimulate tender new growth that can be easily damaged by the first frost. Over-fertilizing is actually counterproductive for Yarrow, as it often results in excessive leaf growth at the expense of those iconic red blooms.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Yarrow can tolerate poor soil conditions, and do best in hot humid summers, in a full sun spot with excellent drainage. Water them regularly to get their roots established in your soil during their first season. After that, this rugged herbaceous perennial shows drought tolerance, although you'll want to give water in extended droughts. 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.

Deadheading enhances their overall appearance and encourages rebloom. In spring, before you see new growth, trim away any of last year's stems to clean up the crown. Divide the mounds every 3-4 years.
