Terracotta Yarrow is an upright clumping herbaceous perennial with deeply dissected dark green aromatic foliage and earth toned flowers. The large flower clusters open yellow and mature to coppery bronze bloom on sturdy stems above the foliage all summer into early fall. An excellent cut flower that retains color when dried. Heat and drought tolerant. Prefers full sun and well-drained soils.

MAINTENANCE NEEDS: Low maintenance. Stems tend to flop if grown in rich, moist soils. Taller stems may need staking if grown in light shade. Can cut back in spring before bloom to reduce height, or after to encourage additional bloom. Stem rot, rust, and powdery mildew can be an occasional issue.
