Because my coastal yarrow is so vigorous and fluffy, everyone else’s (official) yarrow is looking rather anemic in comparison to mine. I am so thrilled with the quality of medicine produced by this plant. This yarrow is highly aromatic, robust, and productive, and the medicine produced is highly potent and effective. It’s beautiful too, with a nicely filled out growth habit (yarrow sometimes looks leggy to me), and plentiful and large clusters of white flowers. Highly recommend!

I should also note that I am in zone 10 (SF Bay Area), and the yarrow has been happy propagating itself in my yard for a couple years now.

Hi, How large of a square foot area does 100 seeds of Yarrow usually cover well?

hi pamela, practically speaking if you’re trying to direct-seed maybe 1 foot by 4 feet. richo
