Notes
'Firefly Sunshine' yarrow (Achillea millefolium 'Firefly Sunshine') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, pollinator gardens, and rock 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. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. The flowers are fragrant, and the plant also tolerates drought and salt.
Pairs well with Coneflower, Shasta daisy, Bee balm, and Blue grama.
