Firefly Collection

Dried Seedheads

Common Name: Yarrow

Fireflies, or whatever you call the insects that light up the night-when you see them, they're a sure sign of warm summer weather. Similarly, this new Yarrow collection will light up your summer garden. These plants differ from other Yarrow due to their taller nature without compromising beautiful habits and sturdiness. Available in a wide selection of colors to fill the needs of your garden.

Light peachy orange flowers age to yellow. Mature and new flowers create a blend of colors, much like you would find on a peach fruit. Tall, upright habit.

Yarrow is one of the easiest perennials to grow and is a good choice for beginners. All it needs is full sun and well-drained soil. These plants are an excellent balance of finely textured foliage and bright flower colors. The wide, flat flower clusters are popular landing pads with pollinators.

Yarrow is one of the easiest perennials to grow and is a good choice for beginners. All it needs is full sun and well-drained soil. It thrives in average to poor soil and is drought tolerant once established. Plants grown in rich soil tend to be tall and floppy. After the flowers have faded, cut the plant back by half. This will likely stimulate a second flush of blooms in late summer.
