    Nothing germinated and I planted all seeds.

    Yarrow Seeds - Colorado Mix

    Store owner replied: Hello Taylor. Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that your yarrow seeds did not germinate for you! Yarrow seeds need light to germinate and should be sown on or very near the soil surface rather than covered deeply. In Zone 7, April plantings can sometimes be affected by heavy rains, temperature fluctuations, dry conditions, or poor seed-to-soil contact, all of which can reduce germination. While yarrow is very hardy once established, the germination stage can be more sensitive than many gardeners expect. We also reached out with growing information and a resolution but have not yet heard back. If you still need any assistance, please reply to that email. We'd be happy to continue working with you and hope to help make your next gardening experience a successful one!

    I winter sowed these and had great success! One packet comes with a ton of seeds too. Very happy with these

    Was excited for these but very few grew and they started late into the season.

    Store owner replied: Hello Olivia. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We’re sorry to hear your yarrow seeds had a slow start and low germination! We know that timing plays a big factor and can be more of a challenge in your zone 5. Yarrow can be a bit slow to establish from seed, and cooler spring temps may delay germination. After speaking with our Customer Service Team, it seems we were able to offer you a resolution. Thank you for sharing your feedback, as it helps us continue to ensure the best results for our customers!

    I was so excited about these but none of these came up for me.

    Store owner replied: Hello Petals and Pecks. Thank you for your review of Eden Brothers! We greatly appreciate you bringing this to our attention. It's so important to have feedback like this so we can continually improve our products and growing tips for all the planting zones. Please note that Yarrow seeds need light to germinate, so scatter them over loosened, well-draining soil and press them gently into the surface without covering them. After speaking with our Customer Service Team, it seems we were able to resolve this for you. Thanks for your time in sharing your experience with us!

    We started these late in the season. They germinated well and are growing strong outside but we won't see the blooms until next year.

    Seeds did excellent with winter sowing. I did 6 different jugs with just the one packet and all of them had germination. I just transplanted to ground this Easter in hunk of seed method. So far so good.

    Did not bloom.

    Yarrow Seeds - Colorado Mix

    Store owner replied: Hello Gayle S. Thank you for your review of Eden Brothers! We greatly appreciate you bringing this to our attention. It's so important to have feedback like this so we can continually improve our products. Sometimes yarrow will bloom in the second season depending on when it was planted. It is considered a short lived perennial. After speaking with our Customer Service Team, it seems we were able to resolve this for you. Thanks for your time in sharing your experience with us!

    These had excellent germination. I started indoors (with the recommended cold stratification) and had all of my seedlings germinate. All seedlings that were planted out survived, and produced abundant flowers with a good variety of hues. Lovely coloring, prolific bloomers, and great for cut flowers and filler. Definitely a must-have!

    Winter sowed these and they are doing absolutely wonderful. The colors are beautiful. I couldn’t be more pleased. Excellent germination, near 100% and they transplanted out quite well.
