Yes, they're very easy to propagate. I start mine indoors, but I'm sure they'd germinate outdoors, since the wild ones do so well. I generally buy three different varieties of Achillea: Cerese Queen, Colorado Mix, and Debutante Mix. One of these has provided me with a lovely pale yellow flower.
As with yours, our wild yarrow will occasionally have pink blooms. I don't know if that is particular to the plant or something to do with the soil or temperature. Have you grown the fernleaf yarrow (A. filipendula) or the A. ptarmica? They should do well in your area, as well.
My fernleaf yarrow seems to bloom later than the millefolium, but it gets quite tall. The leaves are fuzzy and gray, and wider than A. millefolium. I'll put it on my list to send you some seed before the next planting season begins.
Weezingreens, what soil do they need to propagate well? I would love to collect yarrows as they are one of my favorite plants. Thankyou muchly for your help!!! pokerboy.
Pokerboy, I start my seeds indoors about 10 weeks before last frost. I use sterilized starter mix. I see in the Plantfiles that you already grow A. millifolium. Perhaps you could try the A. ptarmica: [HYPERLINK@davesgarden.com] It looks quite different than the others.
