Know before you buy
This cultivar performs best in full sun, which means at least six hours of direct sunlight per day. Planting it in a shaded area will likely result in weak stems and fewer flowers.
Yes, it is considered deer resistant. While no plant is completely deer-proof, the bitter taste and texture of yarrow foliage typically discourage deer from browsing on it.
Firefly Peach Sky Yarrow is drought-tolerant and requires minimal supplemental water once established. It is an excellent choice for low-water landscapes, though it may need occasional watering during extreme, prolonged heat waves.
Absolutely. The sturdy stems make them an excellent choice for fresh-cut bouquets, and they also hold their color and shape well when dried for long-term arrangements.
This specific cultivar was bred for improved health and shows high resistance to both leaf spot and powdery mildew. It is much less prone to these issues than older, traditional yarrow varieties.
With a mature height of 32 to 36 inches, this yarrow is perfectly suited for the middle of a garden border. Its fuller, broader foliage provides a nice visual anchor, and it pairs well with other sun-loving perennials.
