Landscape Uses and Maintenance 

Yarrow is a perennial with tufts of white, fragrant flowers that add a whimsical, gentle beauty to the garden.

This plant grows best when planted in full sun but can tolerate partial shade. For consistent and vigorous blooms, ensure it is planted in an area with full sun. Do not plant in full shade.

This is a considerably hardy plant that is easily propagated. It has a long bloom period, and the season is extended by its seedheads, which stay until eaten by birds. Leave the stems standing through the fall. You can leave the seeds to self-sow and also divide the plant once it is firmly established and spreading. Always divide during the spring when the plant is dormant.
