Achillea millefolium ‘Terracotta’

A richly coloured yarrow producing flat clusters of warm terracotta, copper, and apricot-toned flowers that gradually age to softer russet shades. Set above finely cut, aromatic grey-green foliage, it adds earthy warmth and a naturalistic feel to sunny borders and prairie-style planting.
