| Hello everyone! My yarrow started to bloom this week, but it only has 4 flower heads on the back half of the plant. This is it's second year, is this an indication that it needs to be divided? Has anybody else had this problem before. I transplanted it earlier in the spring, and it is the moonshine verity. |

| not much to go on with the facts ... my 2 guesses.. 1) half got frosted.. stunting it a bit 2) half were expertly transplanted.. the other is still recovering by growing roots ... i doubt the dividing theory ... and i would not worry too much .. every single part.. need not bloom at once.. especially in regard to a transplant ... had you not dug it up.. they probably would... but who knows what is going on underground.. i would bet.. within a week or so.. it will catch up.. or die.. lol.. [i doubt that] ken |

| Second year should be the time of the most profuse blooming, so perhaps the transplantation has disturbed it somehow. I do not have Moonshine myself, but I've come across some reports, that it is shorter lived than average achillea, thus needing more frequent divisions. But as I said , one would expect the second year to be just fine. |
