Advice from our agronomist
Planting. Plant in full sun in well-drained soil, 35–40 cm apart. Yarrow grows even in poor sandy soil but dislikes standing water.
Watering and feeding. Water for the first weeks after planting, later only in long droughts. No feeding is needed – rich soil makes the stems flop.
Care. Cut back the first flush after flowering for new blooms until autumn. The plant spreads, so divide clumps every 3–4 years in spring.
Gardener's tip. For cutting, pick heads when the flowers are fully open so they last in the vase; for drying, hang bunches upside down in the shade.
