With the help of our Red Yarrow Heirloom Seeds (Achillea millefolium), you can give your garden plenty of colour and liveliness. This perennial plant, which attracts butterflies, bumblebees, ladybirds, and hummingbirds, not only enhances the beauty of your garden but also helps the local wildlife. It is well-known for its ruby red flowers with yellow centres. Yarrow is a great addition to any garden because of its aromatic foliage and historical use in herbal medicine, especially for its astringent qualities and advantages in treating a variety of illnesses.

- Harvesting time: The best time to harvest Red Yarrow is in the early morning when the essential oils are most concentrated.
- Harvesting tips: Use sharp scissors or pruning shears to cut the stems. Harvest when the flowers are fully open but before they start to fade. Store the harvested flowers in a cool, dry place. They can be used fresh or dried for various purposes.
