Yarrow seed pack
Sowing and growing:
Sow indoors in trays in early spring, or sow direct once risk of frost has passed. Scatter seeds on the surface and press into the soil; do not cover with soil as the seed requires light to germinate. For best results, place trays in a heated propagator between 18-25°C and keep the soil moist.
Uses and benefits:
The volatile oils found in yarrow, which include the blue chamazulene that is also found in chamomile essential oil, all contribute to the inflammation and infection-reducing properties that make yarrow such an important part of every Green Aid Kit.
Yarrow is also a renowned diaphoretic that when taken as a hot tea helps to dilate the peripheral blood vessel circulation and gently diffuse the heat of an early seasonal infection, often used with peppermint and elderflowers. Its inflammation reducing and ‘exterior releasing’ properties make it a potential ally in hay fever.
Harvest:
Yarrow should be harvested just when the flowers come into bloom throughout the summer. Place on a drying rack and leave overnight at 40C.
