Achillea millefolium 'Terracotta'

Achillea millefolium 'Terracotta' – Yarrow with warm, earthy tones

Achillea millefolium 'Terracotta' is a strong and elegant perennial with a natural look. Its flower heads bloom in warm, earthy shades – from soft orange to terracotta and creamy yellow – creating a rich, changing palette throughout the summer. With its upright growth and finely divided foliage, it’s perfect for natural borders, prairie gardens, and pollinator-friendly plantings.

Long flowering with subtle colour shifts

From June to September, flat-topped flower heads appear and gradually shift in colour as they age. The blossoms are highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.

Drought-tolerant and low-maintenance

‘Terracotta’ stands tall in sun and dry soil. It is hardy, needs little care, and doesn't flop, even in wind or rain – a truly reliable plant for low-input gardens.
