Yarrow

Whilst in Wilkinsons today, a packet of seeds accidentally fell into our basket so I had no option but to pay for them image I discovered they were yarrow and was very happy until reading on the GW site that it can be troublesome where lawns are concerned. I thought I had another welcome wildflower. Anyone have much experience with yarrow and what can I expect?

    Well that's good enough for me nut image I'll get sowing them, though according to the sachet they'll be lucky to flower this year.

    We had the stuff in our lawn after I grew it as a wildflower and every patch had an ants' nest underneath.
