Question
Kendra –
Hello there, I’m planning on changing our current cultivated lawn into yarrow and clover… I was wondering if you would recommend direct sowing similarly to lawn seeding. Or if they have to be started in small pots and transplanting each one. (Fingers crossed it’s not the latter, ahaha!) Any tips would be welcome if you’re familiar with yarrow planting for a large ground cover. Thank you,
-K

Hi Kendra,
Thanks for contacting. It would be helpful to read my “herbal groundcover” blog at this link
https://blog.strictlymedicinalseeds.com/where-and-how-to-grow-an-herbal-groundcover/
Meanwhile, yes, red clover is really only planted in situ in the spring by preparing the seedbed, sowing the seed, raking in, tamping and keeping moist. You can get some yarrow plants from us and intersperse them at the same time, or even try some yarrow seed mixed in with the red clover seed. We have this available in bulk. Familiar with it, yes, the red clover/yarrow interplant is very common on ouir farm, and delightful. richo

Hi Susan, Actually this is what you want. It is original stock wild white oregon yarrow cultivated in organic conditions. It is the official type. All yarrow creeps. Richo

Would yarrow be better spring down or fall sown? I’m going to direct seed. It’s a perennial here.

hi bc, either way–as long as you can keep the seedbed moist and unfrozen, these can be started anytime. richo

Hello, I’m in zone 6 and my yarrow has bunches of lovely leaves – can I harvest them now to dry for making oil?

Charles –
Hi, wondering if there’s any difference in medicinal quality between the official and wild yarrow? Also, which yarrow comes in the Essential Medicinals collection?
Thanks:)

Richo Cech –
Hi Charles, These are medicinally interchangeable and of similar potency. With yarrow, really, you can increase essential oil content by reducing water and increasing sun, so medicinality isn’t necessarily a function of genetics. Essential medicinals is 100% organically grown so its the domesticated seed we’re offering there. richo

This season was my first attempt at propagation and the results were mixed. When I planted the three “sad” seedlings in the ground, I crossed my fingers and said a pray. They really took off! They have grown so well and ended up being quite close together. Since they are still going strong, I’m assuming that they must not mind being in close proximity. These were planted in an area that included a sprinkling of seeds from a flower seed mix and that section of the garden was so “busy” with pollinators – it was so nice to watch the activity all summer and into the fall season. I’m wondering about transplanting a plant or two to another part of the garden this fall. Would that be a wise choice or should I wait for the spring to do that?
Just wanted to add that I didn’t used the right growing medium initially which I think explains my lackluster results with starting the seeds indoors.

Katey (verified owner) –
Hi, I planted my yarrow seeds in 128 cell speedling trays. 100% germination and some even ”migrated” to other cells and sprouted! Is it necessary to thin the sprouts so I only have one plant per cell?
Thanks!

Hello Katey,
Yes, Yarrow is very dependable and easy and seeds have a way of migrating as you say. This is very good for the plants. As for thinning, it is not entirely necessary with this species, which tends to be happy when crowded. Richo
