Gold Yarrow Seeds
Gold yarrow, also known as Achillea filipendulina, is a perennial herbaceous plant that belongs to the Asteraceae family. It is native to the Balkan Peninsula and is widely cultivated in gardens for its beautiful yellow flowers and attractive foliage. The plant has long, narrow, fern-like leaves that grow up to 12 inches long and are divided into many segments. The leaves are a bluish-green color and have a slightly hairy texture. The plant produces tall stems that can reach up to 3 feet in height and are topped with clusters of bright yellow flowers that bloom in midsummer. The flowers of gold yarrow are small and daisy-like, with a diameter of about 1 inch. They are arranged in flat-topped clusters called corymbs that can be up to 6 inches in diameter. The plant blooms profusely and can continue to flower throughout the summer. Gold yarrow is a hardy plant that is easy to grow and requires little maintenance. It prefers full sun and well-drained soil and is drought-tolerant once established. It is a great choice for borders, rock gardens, and naturalized areas, and its attractive foliage and bright yellow flowers make it a favorite among gardeners and landscapers.

How to grow
Choose a location with well-draining soil and full sun. Yarrow can tolerate some shade, but it prefers sun. Sow your yarrow seeds in the spring or fall. If you're sowing in the spring, wait until after the last frost. If you're sowing in the fall, do it at least six weeks before the first frost. Prepare the soil by removing any weeds or rocks and loosening the topsoil. Sow the seeds thinly and cover with a fine layer of soil. Water gently. Keep the soil moist until the seeds germinate, which should take about 10-14 days. Once the seedlings have grown a couple of inches tall, thin them to about 12 inches apart. Yarrow doesn't require much maintenance, but you should water it during dry spells and fertilize it once a year in the spring.
