The soft green leaves of Achillea Terracotta will tolerate foot traffic. Traffic is not
so good for the flowers. Any of the Achillea millefolium varieties are a great lawn substitute
and can be mowed. The blooms on Achillea Terracotta are shades of rust fading to gold. Achillea
Terracotta will bloom in spring and much of the summer. Yarrows are hardy in a significant drought
but like a little water now and again and will look much better for it. I use Achillea Terracotta in a
perennial border or massed to give a long lasting soft pastel patch for a garden with warm colors.
Achillea Terracotta is a nectar source for the Checkerspot
Butterfly species and is a great addition to the butterfly
garden.
