The Pearl Yarrow Seed

Item #HSC-YAR-004-PKT

A double white button yarrow.

The Pearl bears small clusters of 1/2" double white flowers on strong, lasting stems, a look a little like baby’s breath or feverfew. It usually blooms later in summer, so it can stand in for feverfew mid to late season.

Productive plants give several cuts, more in the second year, when they are taller and stronger. Cut them back to a few inches after the first flush for a second round.

Flowers about 110–120 days from sowing, on plants 24–36" tall. Open-pollinated.
