Sassy Summer Sunset Yarrow Care
Sassy Summer Sunset is tolerant of a wide range of growing conditions. It prefers full to partial sun and thrives in areas with well-drained to dry soil. Rich soils can make the yarrow too tall and floppy. Sassy Summer Sunset requires average water, but will grow even in dry conditions once established.
To prune your Sassy Summer Sunset, you can remove spent flowers by cutting the plant back by half, after the bloom is done.
Sassy Summer Sunset Yarrow Spacing
Sassy Summer Sunset can be planted en masse along borders. They are great as cut flowers to provide bouquets and arrangements with structure and pops of color. You should space your Sassy Summer Sunset Yarrow plants 3 to 4 feet apart. They work well in planters as both a “filler” and a “thriller”.
