Description
The Achene millefolium 'Terracotta' is a stoloniferous perennial hybrid (with stolons: creeping stems forming a new plant). It has a bushy habit. Vigorous, the Achene flowers between June and September. It has a beautiful inflorescence that starts off orange and turns cream-coloured. This change in colour gives the plant a unique effect. The flowers are grouped in umbels that form a flattened corymb. These umbels are borne on hairy stems. The flowers produce fruits called achenes.
The deciduous grey-green foliage creates a beautiful contrast with the orange flowers. It is light foliage, deeply divided and quite dense. At maturity, the plant reaches a height of 75 cm (30in). It thrives in rock gardens or as a border plant. Its flowers also make lovely fresh or dried bouquets.
The Achillea 'Terracotta' is a melliferous plant, meaning it contains substances collected by pollinating insects or some birds that transform into honey. Moreover, it attracts butterflies. It pairs well with Hemerocallis, Kniphofias, Nepetas, and Scabiosas. It was bred by Ernst Pagels. The healing power of this Achillea is said to have been discovered by Achilles during the Trojan War to heal a wound, following the advice of Venus. The plant has hemostatic properties (stops bleeding), and its leaves have healing properties while its flowers have a febrifugal effect (combat fever).

Planting and care
Place the 'Terracotta' yarrow mainly in the sun in a light, neutral to limestone soil, even stony and very well-drained. It has good drought resistance and is very hardy. Easy to grow, it does not require any special maintenance. Simply remove the faded flower stalks to promote a second flowering and water regularly. You can prune from time to time to maintain a compact habit. In summer, make sure the soil does not dry out too much. Powdery mildew is common for Yarrow. Beware of aphid attacks.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
