INTRODUCING YARROW SEEDS

Yarrow has been valued for centuries for its healing properties and use in many cultural traditions. Coming from Europe and Asia, today it is celebrated worldwide. The plant is named after Achilles, the Greek hero who reportedly used yarrow to treat his soldiers' wounds. It is appreciated for its medicinal qualities, but also for improving soil health. Yarrow can blossom in USDA hardiness zones 3 to 9, making it suitable for a broad range of garden settings.

PLANTING YARROW SEEDS

Start seeds indoors, 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost. Or, sow them directly in the garden come early spring or fall. Knowing when to plant yarrow seeds is important for cultivating strong plants that will last for years. Yarrow seeds need light to germinate, so simply pressing them into the soil will be sufficient. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination starts. Usually, that’s within 14 to 21 days. When seedlings are sturdy enough, transplant them outdoors, providing 12 to 18 inches of space between the plants.

MAINTAINING YARROW PLANTS

Due to its tolerance to drought, yarrow is easy to care for once established, requiring minimal water. It can also thrive in poor soil. Fertilization is not mandatory and can be kept to a minimum. Deadheading dry flowers will encourage longer blooming. Yarrow can spread through its rhizome system. So, it may be necessary to manage its growth to prevent it from overtaking other plants.

Enjoy the traditional, lovely flowers of yarrow plants! With our yarrow seeds, gardeners have an opportunity to grow a stunning, useful plant that will last for years. Get yours today, and start planting!

Frequently Asked Questions

What are heirloom seeds?

Heirloom seeds are the types of seeds your grandparents grew. These varieties have been passed down from generation to generation. They’re old reliable open-pollinated varieties that aren’t typically grown commercially. Instead, they have a rich history that predates modern breeding techniques. You can learn more about open-pollinated, heirloom, and non-GMO seeds in our Survival Garden Training blog.

How do I know my seeds are fresh?

Every seed packet includes a "packed for" date, and we germination test each seed lot before packaging to ensure you receive viable, high-quality seeds that are ready to grow.

Are your seeds chemically treated?

No, we do not pre-treat our seeds. All of our garden seeds are untreated, open-pollinated, non-GMO, and heirloom varieties. They are kept in temperature-controlled cooler storage until they are packed and shipped to keep them pest and disease-free.

Will your seeds grow in my USDA Hardiness zone?

The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones. However, individual varieties have specific needs to thrive in different environments. Each seed pack has optimal temperatures for germination and instructions on seed starting. Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.

What is the shelf life of these garden seeds?

Most seeds remain viable for 3 to 5 years or longer when stored properly. Check your seed packet for specific varieties. For best results, keep your seeds in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Store them in an airtight container in a consistent temperature environment—a refrigerator or cool basement works well. Proper storage helps maintain germination rates and extends seed life well beyond the packed date.

Where are Survival Garden Seeds sourced?

The majority of our seeds are sourced in the United States, with a few exceptions when the seed is difficult to source domestically. Whenever we do have to source outside of the US, we ensure our seeds are safe to grow, non-GMO, heirloom varieties that meet our standards for germination and reliability.
