Sassy Summer Sangria Red Yarrow

‘Sassy Summer Sangria’ is a Walters Gardens yarrow with an upright, rounded mound of finely cut silvery-green foliage and dark-red flower clusters marked by small white eyes. Its summer display suits sunny borders, pollinator plantings, and cut-flower gardens; U.S. plant patent PP31,355 was granted on January 14, 2020. ## Landscape Use and Seasonal Interest [Walters Gardens](https://www.waltersgardens.com/variety.php?ID=ACHSG), [Darwin Perennials](https://www.darwinperennials.com/Products/Details/?phid=000408393006968), and the [U.S. plant patent](https://patents.justia.com/patent/PP31355) document these cultivar traits. Walters Gardens describes this selection as one of the taller members of its Sassy Summer collection. Plants reach about 30–36 inches tall and 36–42 inches wide, with flowers from early summer into late summer. The flat flower clusters offer landing places for bees and butterflies, and the stems can be cut for fresh or dried arrangements. The flowers are supported above finely divided foliage that reads silver-green in the garden. ## Siting and Soil Give it full sun and well-drained soil. Yarrow tolerates average to poor soil and is drought tolerant after establishment; very rich soil can encourage taller, less sturdy growth. Water regularly while new plants establish, then allow the soil to dry between waterings. ## Maintenance After the first flowers fade, cut the plant back by about half if you want to encourage a later flush. Avoid overwatering and excessive fertilizer; yarrow performs best in lean, freely draining conditions.
