Bright, luxurious flowering is the main, but far from the only advantage of the new yarrow. Among the important advantages: the preservation of decorativeness throughout the season, unpretentiousness, the ability to grow rapidly, suitability for cutting and winter bouquets. Compact, upright shrubs with leafy stems, topped with large snow-white baskets of double inflorescences, are ideal companions for dark red, blue, or purple flowers with dark foliage, and will wonderfully decorate any corner of your garden.
Sowing: February-March (for seedlings), April-May - in open ground or before winter (to a depth of not more than 0.5 cm).
Seeds require preliminary stratification: sow the seeds, cover with glass and place in the refrigerator (temp. + 5 + 7 ° C). Crops are kept under such conditions for a month, then transferred to room conditions. At a temperature of + 16 + 18 ° C, shoots appear on the 10-14th day. In the phase of 1-2 true leaves, the seedlings swoop down on seedling beds. In the phase of 5-6 true leaves, the plants are planted in a permanent place at a distance of 20-25 cm. It is very important that the soil is always slightly moist until the moment of germination.
