🌱 Sowing & Care Instructions
Sowing takes place indoors between February and April or outdoors in a sheltered spot from March onwards. Press the seeds lightly into the soil and do not cover them. For better germination, the seeds can be chilled for about a week before sowing, as cool-flower varieties benefit from a period of cold. Once established, yarrow prefers sunny locations with well-drained soil and consistent, moderate watering.

This variety is ideal for flower beds, perennial borders, natural gardens, cut flower cultivation and decorative dried flower arrangements.
