How to Propagate Achillea grandifolia
The giant yarrow, a vision of ferny foliage and creamy blooms, stands defiant. Its propagation, however, is a puzzle, a whispered challenge to the gardener’s patience. Seed, stubbornly dormant, offers little hope. Cuttings, delicate slivers of life, demand a nurturing touch, their survival hanging on a balance of humidity and diligent misting. But division—ah, division offers a different story. The earthy scent of freshly turned soil, the satisfying heft of the root crown yielding to the spade, the thrill of separating crowns, each a promise of future abundance… this is the reward. Each new shoot, a tiny victory in a dance with nature’s rhythms.
