Default sneezewort question HELP!!!

Hi guys, im hoping somone can help me out, i would like our bridesmaids to carry sneezewort at our wedding and cant find out if it will be in flower in june or not.
if i bought plants now would there be anything i could do to to get them to flower in june?
and dont worry its not because i'm sadistic and hate people with hey fever, apparently if carried by bridesmaids it brings happiness to the newly weds.
old wives tale i'm sure but cute and traditional.

Looks like yarrow might be a good replacement, according to this!

Default Yarrow

It certainly would be easier to find wild yarrow but the flowers are different, you can find out more about yarrow and see pictures of yarrow and sneezewort if you follow this link Yarrow you'll need to scroll down to the November article

Hello Herbaholic and welcome to the Vine!
Great site you have recommended- thanks
I have great difficulty growing yarrow- now I know why!!- I grow on peat!
It's only just getting established again after 3 years having moved it from our previous allotment.
Good stuff though.
