Description
Achillea 'Terracotta'
Height x Spread: 70cm x 70cm
Dense clusters of terracotta orange flowers which gently fade to cream, are carried high above finely cut mid green foliage.
This prolific and long flowering Achillea is great for injecting summer colour into the middle of a hot sunny border. It is not a difficult colour to place in the garden, combining harmoniously with whites and soft pinks, or more strikingly with blues and dark purples. Its distinctive form mixes well with those of Echinacea, Oenothera and Eryngium. Free draining soils are best.
