Firefly Diamond Yarrow will be the gem of your border or summer containers, offering easy-care, long-blooming color to delight you and nourish passing bees and butterflies. The white flowers sparkle day and night in a full sun exposure, and retain their good looks even as they fade, hinting at the fact that they are also excellent cut and dried flowers for arranging and crafting. They bloom all summer long in flat flying-saucer shapes that uniquely set off rounded and spiked flowers, while the lacy green foliage does the same with bolder-leafed companions. They prefer less fertile soil, so the less fussing the better. They are resistant to both deer and rabbits.
Achillea hybrids, the upright plants can reach 40 inches tall and wide, and make a great thriller in a well-drained container, or an all-star border player, especially en masse. Just a few places they would shine are: a cutting/crafting garden, a Moon garden, a pollinator bed, a “hell strip,” or a drought-tolerant garden.
Firefly Diamond Yarrow Care
Yarrows will perform their best in full sun, in average to poor soil. The ideal soil would be acidic to neutral in pH. They are salt-tolerant, so a coastal situation is fine.
The more you cut for bouquets the more flowers you (and the pollinators) will receive. They only ask to be cut back by half after flowering, which will encourage a repeat flush of bloom, and to be divided every three years or so as they grow.
Firefly Diamond Yarrow Spacing
A great spacing for Firefly Diamond is about 34 – 40 inches across in the landscape.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
