Firefly
Blooming from early to late Summer and featuring good
rebloom when cut back, the Firefly series holds its flowers on
tall, sturdy stems that won’t lodge like some Yarrows. Resists
both deer and rabbit while attracting pollinators. 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.

GROWING TIPS
» Feed with 50-75 ppm at every other watering. Do not over-fertilize,
Achillea are not heavy feeders.
» Vernalization is beneficial at 10 weeks of temperatures below 40°F.
» Bulk plants under short days to prevent early flowering. Achillea flower
best under long days.
» When planting, make sure crown is even with the soil line.
» Apply multiple applications of B-Nine (daminozide) at 2,500 ppm or a tank
mixutre of B-Nine at 2,000 ppm and Sumagic (uniconazole) at 3ppm. Check
manufacturer’s labels for approved rates and usage recommendations.
