Achillea Terracotta is a soft, naturalistic perennial with warm yellow to burnt orange flower clusters that soften in tone as they age. The flat flower heads sit above feathery green foliage, bringing gentle height and a meadow like feel to borders. It works well in cottage style planting, prairie inspired schemes and wildlife friendly gardens, and is well known for attracting bees and butterflies through summer. Terracotta forms a steady, reliable clump that returns each year and blends easily with grasses and other airy perennials.
