Poda

Yarrow (Achillea millefolium 'Pretty Belinda') should be pruned in early spring to encourage healthy and robust growth. This is best done as soon as the ground thaws and the last frost has passed. Use sharp, clean pruning shears to remove all dead, wilted, or diseased foliage and stems. Additionally, pruning should be done to thin out the canopy structure, to encourage air circulation, and to encourage more flowers to grow. Cut back around 1-third of the tallest stems and remove any crossing stems. Prune the plant down to the desired height, depending on the size of the area you are working with. Finally, gently shape the plant following the desired shape and size.
