2000 Red Yarrow Achillea millefolium rubra Flower Herb Seeds

Red Yarrow has finely divided, fern-like leaves and a pungent scent. Flowers are dark pink to deep carmine and occur in flat-topped flower clusters. Attracts beneficial insects. This species has rhizomes and can spread aggressively in home gardens or where soils are moist. To contain rhizomes, grow plants in 5 or 10 gallon plastic pots that have been partially buried in the ground. Sowing: Direct sow the seed in fall or early spring; fall planted seed will remain dormant until spring. To start the seeds indoors, plant them just below the surface of the soil since they need light to germinate. Keep the soil temperature at 65-75 degrees F, but out of the hottest rays of sunlight.
