What To Expect When Using Flawn Seed: With regular watering, White Yarrow will germinate in 2-4 weeks, with plants remaining small for the first couple of months. After the first or second growing season, it will begin to bloom beautiful white flowers (6-12” tall) from June to August, becoming a vital nectar and pollen source. Watering regularly after seeding and through dry periods is critical for success for optimal establishment. Mature flowering lawns with many blooms can take up to 6-24 months to fully establish, especially in thicker grass lawns that have been heavily fertilized in the past.
How To Start Your Flowering Lawn Journey:
- Prepare: No need to remove existing grass! Simply mow your existing grass very short, then lightly rake to loosen the soil.
- Spread: Hand-spread the White Yarrow seeds evenly over the prepared area, one pinch at a time, ensuring good coverage.
- Water: Water lightly but frequently after seeding, ensuring the soil and emerging seedlings don't dry out.
- Seeding Timing: White Yarrow is easy to establish and can be seeded in spring, summer, or fall. For dormant seeding, spread in late fall when the ground is frozen, or over fresh snow throughout winter. If seeding in spring, wait until the ground thaws and soil temperatures are around 55 degrees (e.g., late April to early May for upper mid-west states). Designed to be over-seeded into existing grass lawn areas. Increase the seeding rate or consider a larger size for bare soil areas.
Maintaining Your Lawn:
- Mowing: For best flowering, allow yarrow to grow taller (6-12"). If you are planning on mowing your lawn at about 4-6", the yarrow will survive but will not flower. It is best for low-traffic areas that are mowed only a few times per year.
- No Pesticides: Do not use pesticide weed or insect killers. Hand-weed if necessary or desired.
- Fertilizer: White Yarrow is a nitrogen fixer, so fertilizer needs are minimal, if at all, once established.
- Watering: Once established, it won't require watering, except in periods of extended drought.
