Sassy Summer Taffy Yarrow

Watering Needs:

Let dry between waterings

• Light: Requires full sun (6+ hours daily) for best blooms.
• Soil: Prefers well-draining, sandy, or loamy soil; tolerates poor soil but avoid heavy, wet conditions.
• Watering:
  • New Plants: Water deeply 1-2 times per week until established.
  • Established Plants: Highly drought-tolerant—occasional watering in extreme heat is enough.
• Fertilization:
  • Minimal feeding needed. A light, balanced fertilizer in early spring supports vigorous growth.
  • Avoid excess nitrogen, which can cause floppy stems.
• Maintenance:
  • Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering.
  • Cut back by one-third after the first major bloom cycle for potential reblooming.
  • Prune old foliage in late fall or early spring to refresh the plant.
• Pest & Disease Resistance:
  • Deer and rabbit resistant.
  • Generally pest-free, but good airflow prevents powdery mildew.
• Hardiness: Thrives in USDA zones 3-8—built for hot summers and cold winters.
