This hardy, low-maintenance plant can be grown in just about any well-drained soil. Sturdy, straight stems with feathery, finely-cut leaves are topped with large, long-lasting flower clusters in shades of red, rose, pink, yellow, and white. They make wonderful cut flowers, and what's left in the garden will attract beneficial insects.

Only One Flowered

Aug 23, 2019

I planted an entire packet and only had 1 plant actually flower.

Hannah from OH

Owner Response: Thank you for taking the time to review this product. Since perennials take longer to mature we often suggest starting them indoors if you want to see them flower in their first year. We hope you will enjoy the flowers you will see next year from this colorful mix.

Beautiful for cut flowers

Jul 3, 2020

I planted these last year and they were just lovely. This summer, they are even more full and have been great for cut flowers. I had so many seedlings last year that I gave some to a friend. She has also had a second year of lush growth and blooms.

So far, so good

Great germination. I started these early in February in hopes of getting first year blooms. They are in many different locations, and several have bloomed the first year where they are clearly happier than other locations. Very nice mix.

Well, guess it doesn't like Texas

Had no luck at all with the Colorado Yarrow. Planted it in 3 different spots and then re-planted. Never came up. This was during the mild spring weather we had so our excessive heat was not an issue.

Dexter Collier from TX

Owner Response: Hi Dexter, We are sorry these did not germinate for you. In your area, a fall sowing is likely easier. We test our seed germination rates frequently and also guarantee our seeds. A customer service agent will be contacting you shortly about your experience.

Awesome germination rate!

100% germination rate in less than 7 days. Pretty excited to grow this in my cut flowers garden this year!

Hardy flower from seed

May 2, 2021

I started these from seed in late March and they quickly germinated and continued to grow so much that I had to pot up twice! Ready for the cut flower garden in early May.

Nice variety

Oct 9, 2021

I really liked the colors, some were vibrant while others a bit muted, but all enjoyable. Did well in ground and in container. Requires a bit more water if used in container.

First year success

Nov 17, 2021

I planted about 10 seeds in my greenhouse in early April. I had 100% germination which was awesome, but out of the 7 that bloomed this year, only one wasn't white. I was looking forward to adding some color to the garden so was a little disappointed there wasn't more variety. The one that wasn't white was so pale it looked white anyway, lol, but they were beautiful and hardy. Happy to have seen blooms the first year on most of the plants.

Yarrow

Nov 28, 2021

High germination rates and excellent quality seeds. Lightly pressed into soil and started indoors with grow lights. Hardened off and transplanted last spring. Drought tolerant and very hardy. Blooms for months zone 8B in Central Texas. Cut it back hard in the fall and is doing great!

Dori from TX

Great Germination

Mar 26, 2023

I've never grown yarrow before, but these all germinated really well and in about 6 days. They're beautiful young seedlings currently and I look forward to seeing them bloom later in the season. Really pleased with these seeds.
