When cutting back yarrow, you may want to consider pruning it back by at least half, given the plant's propensity to be floppy and tip over. Prune the entire stem to the lower basal foliage (the foliage at the bottom of the stem, down by the ground) after all the spring/early summer blooms are done.

Do you cut Yarrow down in the fall?
Yarrow does not like to sit in cold, wet soil. By fall, most of its blooms are spent, and its foliage is flopping and possibly diseased. Cut it back in early fall, and new basil growth will fill in before frost.
How do you care for a yarrow plant?
Yarrow Care
Each spring, add a thin layer of compost around your plants. Then follow with mulch. Yarrow likes dry and hot conditions, but they still need some water. If you don't receive an inch of water in one week, be sure to water regularly.
Should yarrow be cut back?
Cutting back yarrow will help maintain plant health and vitality, as it will encourage new growth with stronger stems with the potential for additional fall blooms. Prune back to the basal leaves again in late fall or early winter. The basal leaves will help protect the yarrow plant during the winter.
Should yarrow be cut back after blooming?
Yarrow tends to grow more and more stems on the outside, leaving the inner stems to die away. Cut back yarrow to within 6 inches of the ground after it has finished flowering. In colder climates, cut it back as one of the last chores in your garden before the snow flies.
Does Yarrow come back every year?

How do you keep Yarrow from spreading?
To control spreading by underground stems, just pull up new sprouts—and the attached stem, which is just below the soil surface—as they wander out of bounds. Do this in early spring and during the growing season. It's easier to pull up spreading stems after a rain, when soil is soft.
Should hydrangeas be cut back in the fall?
These hydrangeas develop buds on growth that forms after flowers bloom and that they hold onto until the following spring. Cutting these back in the fall eliminates new flower buds, leaving nothing but foliage.
How often should I water my yarrow?
