Hello Konkreteblond, if you don't feel it is the right time to move your Yarrow, just leave it alone,
and I will give you some of the white kind to put in that spot.

I normally don't have any trouble transplanting Yarrow, usually I pull up a clump, divide it, and set the small pieces in little pots in the shade and keep them well watered, and in about a month, they are ready to set out in their permanent home.

I also propagate my Phlox by cutting the growing tips of the new growth when they are about a foot tall. I take a piece of the growing tip that is about 3 inches long and has 3 sets of leaves,
remove the lower leaves and put then in little pots, and follow the same treatment as the Yarrow and they all root. The secret is to keep them in the shade and keep them moist.
You might have to sprinkle them twice a day if it is hot, but I normally have at least 95% sucess rate. Here is a picture of some of the plants I am rooting for you guys.
