Charsaw Farms Achillea millefolium Yarrow

Achillea millefolium thrives in full sun, meaning it requires at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily. While it can tolerate partial shade, you will see significantly fewer flowers and the stems may become leggy or flop over.

Once established, this Yarrow is exceptionally drought-tolerant and prefers drier conditions over constantly wet soil. You will only need to water it during the first season while the root system develops; after that, it can handle periods of neglect quite well.

This plant is incredibly forgiving and actually prefers poor, rocky, or sandy soils that drain well. Avoid planting it in heavy clay or areas that stay soggy, as this can lead to root rot.

While it is a hardy perennial, it is not considered invasive. It will form a nice, controlled clump over time, reaching about two feet in width, but it won't take over your entire flower bed.

Yes, deadheading—or cutting back the spent flower stalks—is recommended. Removing the faded blooms encourages the plant to put energy into producing a second flush of flowers later in the season.

A band pot is a deep, narrow container designed to encourage strong root development rather than top growth. While the plant may look smaller above the soil line, the root system is well-established and ready to thrive once planted in the ground.
