Leucanthemum vulgare
flowerAttracts the same hoverflies as Yarrow, keeping pests in check
Start Yarrow indoors about 6 weeks before your last frost. Seeds usually come up in around 14 days. Move seedlings out once the danger of frost has passed, in full sun, spaced about 30 cm apart. Expect the first blooms in roughly 90 days.
Keep track of the seeds you own.
Water: Low · Height: 70 cm · Soil: Well-draining, poor to average — tolerates dry and poor soil
These three thrive alongside Yarrow — and alongside each other.
