Achillea Terracotta (Yarrow)

Presenting a mosaic of warm colors with flowers of various ages, Achillea 'Terracotta' is a gorgeous Yarrow with masses of long-lasting clusters of peachy yellow flowers fading to a straw color. Its pleasantly aromatic, semi-evergreen, green-gray fern-like foliage is disease resistant and nicely compliments the cheerful flat umbel flowers. The honey color of this Achillea is perfect for both cool and warm borders.

• Blooms for weeks from early to late summer, this eye-catching beauty easily enlivens any sunny corner of the garden.
• Easy care, drought, heat, humidity, deer and rabbit tolerant, this Achillea is a perennial that is rich in many qualities aside from its good looks!
• Grows up to 3 ft. tall (90 cm) and spreads 18-24 in. (45-60 cm) in sturdy, upright clumps.
• Thrives in full sun in average, dry to medium moisture, well-drained soils. Light shade is tolerated, but the best coloring and flowering are obtained in full sun. Dry soils are also tolerated. Avoid rich, moist soils which would cause your Yarrow to get floppy or leggy. Good drainage is essential.
• A vital ingredient of herbaceous borders, cottage gardens, meadows, or prairies. This Yarrow is also valued for the excellent quality of its cut flowers, whether in bouquets or dried floral arrangements.
• Yarrows are a must if you are trying to attract butterflies!
• Deadheading will extend the bloom season. Cutting back after initial flowering will promote a rebloom.
• Toxic to dogs, toxic to cats, toxic to horses.
