Good stuff Eric, good stuff!
I LOVE these horticultural deep-dive videos that focus on one plant in particular! Another banger as usual 😀
I notice its yellow, Ive only seen it white on most videos. I m pretty sure I have yarrow that is pink.
Where's a good place to get the seeds of yarrow?
Adding to my grow list. I use johnnys seeds, so I have to wait until November for the yarrow, but I can purchase alyssum at the end of August.
I read that yarrow is toxic to dogs. Is anyone familiar with this? Is the likelihood of them eating it low since it appears to taste bad to rabbits and deer? Your garden is lovely Chris!
Hey Kevin,
Have you ever given thought to having a sort of super tropical plant/tree grower join your team?
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PRONOUNCE IT RIGHT!
I’ve had little to no success growing this plant this year. the
This is my first time growing Poor germination or dying seedlings have been my problems
Looks good, intersting plant.
Yarrow is a very good first aid plant for cuts and minor bleeding. Crush a leaf and apply directly to the skin and secure by covering with an adhesive strip.
Knowing the medicinal uses of this stinky smelling plant would benefit folks in emergency situations but then big pharma controls you !
I actually have wild ones growing here. I also planted some from seed also. Thanks for this great info.
wow that's so awesome Iam growing Yarrow In my garden I am so happy to hear that Yarrow Is so easy to grow
Nice to see Yarrow getting some love! I admire the low maintenance factor and that they handle hot summer days!
Yarrow is a great plant to grow near your compost bins…yarrow prunings will help speed decomposition in the bins!
I've seen versions of this plant in videos from "crime pays but botany doesn't" it's amazing how big the Asteraceae family is, one of my favorites.
I ALMOST got some, too. Dang it!
PLEASE if you see something that looks like white yarrow make SURE its not hogweed, flowers look the same. the leafs do not.
What is that insect on Jacques' yarrow??? I recently noticed a ton of them on my patio garden.
I just don't enjoy the videos as much without Kev and Jacque. Not being mean, just giving feedback.
I started a few different types of yarrow from seed this year but it hasn’t bloomed. It has a lot of healthy foliage but no bloom stalks. Does it not bloom the first year?
Let’s not forget to mention that there is hemlock, which looks very similar, but instead of used for medicine, it is a poison.
I love Chris' garden. I like her lectures, but sometimes I get bored with her tone. This is not bashing, it's just my observation. But I still love epic gardening, and other channels.
Hey! I clicked the like button and a lot of my seedlings died. Sure it might have been the frost we had here in Melbourne Aus but…
We used to be told chewing yarrow cured toothaches but I've no idea if that's true.
Thanks for reminding me about yarrow. I'll buy some seeds and add more flowers for the pollinators.
I think it's a good herb to have for autumn, very potent
