Landscape Uses and Maintenance of Yarrow Plants

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.

How to Grow and Care for Bare Root Perennials, Tubers, and Bulbs

Bare root perennials, tubers, and bulbs are an easy and economical way to jumpstart your garden with lasting beauty. These dormant plants should be planted in early spring or fall while the soil is cool and workable. Before planting, soak bare roots in water for 1–2 hours to rehydrate them. Choose a location based on the plant’s light needs—most flowering types prefer full sun, while others thrive in partial shade.

For bare root perennials, dig a shallow hole and spread the roots out naturally, ensuring the crown is level with the soil surface. For tubers and bulbs, plant with the pointed side facing up at a depth about two to three times their height. Cover with soil, gently press down, and water thoroughly.

Keep soil consistently moist (not soggy) until new growth appears. Add mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds, but avoid covering the crown or bulb tops. Once established, these plants require little maintenance—just seasonal watering, occasional dividing, and deadheading or pruning as needed. With proper care, they’ll return and thrive year after year.
