Golden Fleece Ground Cover Seeds for Planting

Yarrow (Achillea Tomentosa Aurea) is a perfect low-growing plant for the front of borders, as ground cover, or in containers and pots. This delightful variety, known as Dwarf Yarrow or Woolly Yarrow, can be grown from seed and features silvery fern-like foliage and brilliant golden flowers when in bloom. The dwarf Achillea plant is highly attractive to bees and butterflies, and it makes a wonderful cut flower that also dries well.

Yarrow has excellent drought tolerance and adapts to most soil types, though it is best to fertilize sparingly, as nitrogen-rich soil will produce lush foliage but fewer flowers. Caring for Yarrow involves deadheading spent flowers, which helps promote additional blooming. After flowering, plants can be cut back to the leaves to tidy them up and encourage the possibility of more blooms in the fall. Clumps should be divided every 3-4 years when overcrowded, and Yarrow can be propagated through cuttings, division, or seed.

To grow Yarrow from seed, sow them indoors 6-8 weeks before the end of the frost season, using starter trays or small pots. The seeds should be pressed into the soil but not covered, as light aids germination. Keep the soil moist until the seeds have germinated, which typically takes 14-21 days. Alternatively, Yarrow seeds can be directly sown outdoors in prepared soil after the danger of frost has passed, thinning the seedlings to 12 inches apart.

Yarrow has a sowing rate of approximately 500 seeds per 10 square feet, with an average germination time of 14-21 days. The plants reach a height of 6-8 inches and are suitable for USDA zones 4-9, making them a perennial option. Yarrow is a versatile and easy-to-grow plant that can enhance gardens across the United States.
