Why Grow Gold Yarrow?

Gold Yarrow is a gardener's delight! With its feathery foliage and bright yellow flowers, it brings a burst of sunshine to any landscape. Its low maintenance and drought tolerance make it an excellent choice for xeriscaping or any garden where water conservation is key. Plus, it’s deer-resistant, ensuring your beautiful blooms remain intact throughout the growing season.

Growing Tips:

  • Planting: Sow seeds in early spring or fall. For best results, scatter seeds on the soil surface and lightly press them down, but do not cover them completely as they need light to germinate.
  • Spacing: Space plants 12-18 inches apart to allow for proper airflow and growth.
  • Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a strong root system. Once established, Gold Yarrow is drought-tolerant and only needs occasional watering.
  • Maintenance: Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and prevent self-seeding. In late fall or early spring, cut back the foliage to encourage fresh growth.

Gold Yarrow is a versatile plant that can be used in various garden settings:

  • Pollinator Gardens: Its vibrant blooms attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects.
  • Borders and Edging: Use it to create stunning borders along walkways or garden beds.
  • Cut Flower Gardens: The long-lasting flowers make excellent additions to fresh bouquets or dried arrangements.
  • Medicinal Herb Gardens: Incorporate Gold Yarrow into a medicinal herb garden for its numerous health benefits.

  • Ease Cold Symptoms: Brew Yarrow tea to help reduce fever, relieve congestion, and support the immune system.
  • Support Digestive Health: Yarrow can help alleviate digestive issues such as bloating and cramping.
