Yarrow *NEW*

£3.00

Achillea millefolium - approx. 500 seeds

A fully hardy perennial native to the UK, known for its fine, feathery foliage and clusters of small white flowers. Plants typically reach around 60 cm in height. Yarrow is excellent for cutting, drying, wildlife, tea and herbal first aid.

Yarrow has a long history of medicinal use. The name Achillea refers to the Greek hero Achilles, who was said to use yarrow to treat the wounds of soldiers. Similar uses are reflected in the Gaelic names such as lus chasgadh na fala “the plant that staunches bleeding” and lus na fola “blood weed”. Reference: T. Darwin, The Scots Herbal, 1996.


Growing Info.

Sow indoors in trays in early spring, or sow direct once the risk of frost has passed. Scatter seeds on the surface and press into the soil; do not cover with soil as the seed requires light to germinate. 

In order to encourage continual flowering, deadhead flowers regularly. Yarrow will readily self seed so deadheading will prevent it from spreading around your garden. Careful when opening - small seeds

  • Hardy Perennial 
  • Flowers: June to September

What our customers say

Your seeds are just great! Always excellent germination rates. This is the second year we have had your Robinson peas which are really lovely and grow so well.

Lisa, Bridge of Allan

I thought you should know that your seeds have been wonderful. In an otherwise rubbish growing season, everything I bought from you has thrived. I’ve been eating purple mangetout and Carter’s Polish beans for weeks now and they’re still going strong.

Laura, North Kessock

Desert Spirit Landrace did exceptionally well in my polycrub here in the Western Isles - I even won the pumpkin growing competition that we put up for local growers and allotment holders.

Susanne, Isle of Lewis

I want to thank you for my Garden of Abundance. I’m a new gardener to Scotland and your seeds have given me such joy. I can hardly keep up with eating the rocket and I’ve planted my 2nd set of lettuce already.

Gay, Moray

My Black Isle broad beans are germinating after four days. How is that possible? ! Fab seed!

Janey, Highlands

I wanted to pass on the great success all of the seeds I bought from you have been.
Greatest success was ripe tomatoes (Scotland Yellow) on 7th of July - in Orkney!! Over two weeks later and none of my other varieties are even close to ripe.

Jenna, Orkney
