Notes
'Firefly Peach Sky' yarrow (Achillea millefolium 'Firefly Peach Sky') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, pollinator gardens, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to wet soil of most types. It blooms from early to late summer and draws butterflies and bees. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. The fragrant plant also handles drought and salt.
Pairs well with Coneflower, Shasta daisy, Bee balm, and Blue grama.
