Growing Information
Upon Arrival:
It is very important to plant these dormant perennials as soon as possible after you receive them. If it is necessary to store them for a short time before planting them, open the cartons and any plastic that is around the roots. If the roots appear dry, soak them for a few hours in warm water. Thereafter store in slightly moist peat moss in a cold, but not freezing location until you can plant. They can also be placed in pots of soil if planting will be delayed for more than 2 weeks. Use any packaged, peat-based potting soil and pots with drainage holes.
Planting General Info:
It is a good idea to soak any bare-root perennials in water for a few hours, but not more than a day, before planting. Most bulbs and perennials require 'well-drained' soil to thrive. Areas that often have 'sitting' water or constantly soggy soil can quickly cause roots to rot and deteriorate, especially over winter. Add organic matter to the area and provide good drainage unless the plant variety enjoys wet roots. Unless otherwise specified, bare-root perennials are usually planted with the crown (where the shoots meet the roots) an inch below the soil surface. Firm soil gently to eliminate air pockets and water in well. Mark the area clearly since it may be a while before the plant shows itself. Pay particular attention to watering any new plants during the first season. Once established plants generally have some drought tolerance and will only need to be watered if the season is hot and dry.
Planting Yarrow:
Plant horizontally, 1-2 inches below the soil line, with any green growth above the soil level. Allow 1-2 feet between plants.
Growing:
Plant in light, well drained soil. Yarrow can withstand poor or drought conditions where it is full sun. Grows up to 28" tall with an 18" spread. Stake if planted in a windy area. Divide in spring or fall.
Note:
Remove spent blooms to encourage reblooming.
