Caring for Yarrows<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Yarrow needs little care. It does not need too much fertilizer. Dead-heading encourages blooming to continue till late fall. When the older stems begin to wither, jut cut them off at the base to allow younger ones to appear with more flowers. This plant has short life. However, you can rejuvenate it by dividing it every 2 years. The best time to divide yarrow is early spring when new growth just begins. To divide, dig up the whole clump, and cut the clump into two parts with the spade. Replant them with a space of 1-2 feet. On the other hand, it readily self-seeds. You can transplant the young plants to other locations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
