Yarrow - Western Seeds
Start yarrow seeds indoors 8-10 weeks prior to your last frost date. Can also direct-seed in fall.
Cold stratification will improve germination. Place seeds in a moist paper towel inside a plastic bag or container. Keep in the fridge for 3-4 weeks before seeding. Stratification is not required for direct-seeding in fall.
Press seeds into soil and do not cover. Keep moist until germination in ~10-14 days.
Transplant after your last frost date into a sunny location, with plants 12-24 inches (30-60 cm) apart.
