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.
One of the very best Yarrows for lasting color throughout the summer. Bright yellow flowers contrast with dark gray green foliage. 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.
Container:
Premium 1 Gallon Pot
When to Plant:
Summer to fall or late winter to late spring
Finish:
8-10 weeks
Container:
Premium 1 Gallon Pot
When to Plant:
Late winter to late spring
Finish:
6-8 weeks
Growing Temperature:
60-65° F
Holding Temperature:
50-60° F
Soil PH:
5.5-6.2
EC (What is EC?):
1.5-2.5 pour through method
Fertility:
Feed with 50-75 ppm at every other watering. Do not over-fertilize, achillea are not heavy feeders.
For Controlled Release or Slow Release Fertilizer, see your preferred supplier for recommended rates for incorporation or top dressing, as it varies by fertilizer.
Vernalization:
Beneficial at 10 weeks of temperatures below 40° F.
Pests & Diseases:
Aphids are the most common pest. Thrips, spider mites, root-knot nematode, slugs, Asiatic garden beetle, caterpillars, oriental beetle can also be an issue.
Botrytis, Crown gall, powdery mildew, Rhizoctonia and other stem and root rots are the main diseases to watch out for.
Potting & Timing:
Root Trimming: Roots may be trimmed to fit pot.
Some growers pinch back the original shoot (from a liner) after the roots have formed to encourage branching.
Moisture:
Allow plants to dry thoroughly between waterings.
Planting Level:
Plant crown even with soil line.
PGRs/Pinching:
Multiple applications are typically needed to adequately control height of larger varieties. B-Nine (Daminozide) at 2,500 ppm, tank mixtures of B-Nine at 2000 ppm and Sumagic (Uniconazole) at 3 ppm, or Sumagic alone at 5-10 ppm are all effective.
Lighting:
Bulk plants under short days to prevent early flowering. Achillea flower best under long days.
