About the Yarrow
- Terra Cotta :
The Yarrow ‘Terra Cotta’, Achillea 'Terra
Cotta', is an upright salmon pink flowers
that age to rusty terracotta orange flowers
that blooms from June through September.
With silvery foliage, it is beautiful when
planted in front of dark foliaged perennials
or mixed with blue flowers. The flower heads
are 3-4” wide, with a spread of 18-24” and a
height of 36”. ‘Terra Cotta’ Yarrow is
excellent for cuttings, fresh or dried, in
mass plantings or as a border plant.
Inclined to spread, so site this carefully.
This Yarrow can tolerate poor soil
conditions, but does best in lean, dry to
medium wet, well-drained soil. (Avoid heavy
clays and moist, rich, fertile soils.)
Yarrow should be planted in full sun and is
tolerant to hot humid summers. Remove faded
flowers to encourage more growth and divide
every 3-4 years. For an attraction to
butterflies, deer and rabbit resistant, one
can’t go wrong with this plant.
