Achillea millefolium 'Terra Cotta' is a drought tolerant perennial with grey-green finely textured, fern-like foliage that is no taller than 8 inches but spreads 12-30 inches wide depending on climate. Flat-topped flower clusters on 24-36 inch stems appear in warm earth-tone shades of gold, apricot, orange, and terracotta in spring through late summer. Flower color may fade in extended hot weather. This low-maintenance yarrow is useful in borders, meadows, cut flower gardens, or pollinator gardens.
How large does it grow and what is its habit?
It typically reaches about 2 to 3 ft tall and spreads about 2 to 3 ft wide, forming upright stems with sturdy flower heads.
What light and site conditions does it prefer?
It does best in full sun and in well-drained soil. It tolerates dry or lean soils and should avoid overly rich or moisture-retentive sites.
What about watering, maintenance and general care requirements?
Provide regular watering during establishment; once established the plant is drought tolerant and prefers moderate to dry soils. Dead-head or cut back spent blooms to extend flowering. Avoid heavy, wet soils.
What pests, diseases or caution notes apply?
Generally low-maintenance, but may suffer from stem rot, botrytis or mildew in wet or shady conditions. Bloom colour may fade in prolonged hot weather. The foliage may be toxic if ingested by pets.
