Sassy Summer Sangria Yarrow Care

Yarrow is a native wildflower in North America, and is a dependable perennial in Zones 3-8. This is one of the lowest maintenance perennials you can find. Plant in full sun and well-drained soil to get the most out of this colorful variety. Fertilization is not required for growth or bloom; however you can apply a layer of compost annually if desired. Additional irrigation is not required after this perennial is established, unless there is extreme drought.

There’s not much you need to do to keep Sassy Summer Sangria looking great. Cut the plant back by half after the first flowers fade to get another set of blooms in late summer. Cut it back again in early spring to allow new growth to take off.
