Orange Terracotta Yarrow Seeds - Achillea Millefolium, 20 seeds

Quantity: 20 Seeds / pack

Terracotta yarrow (Achillea millefolium) bears broad, flat-topped clusters of tiny flowers that open in warm terracotta-orange and fade through burnt orange to tawny gold and cream. The ever-changing heads rise above aromatic, fern-like gray-green foliage on plants 24 to 36 inches tall.

A hardy perennial, yarrow thrives in sunny, well-drained spots and poor soils, flowering for months. It is excellent for borders, cottage gardens, and cut or dried arrangements.

Why choose our seeds?

• Terracotta-orange flower heads that age gracefully to gold and cream
• Long bloom season and fern-like aromatic foliage
• Tough perennial for sunny, well-drained, even poor soils

How to grow Orange Terracotta Yarrow seeds

Choose Your Planting Method

• Indoors: Start indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost.
• Outdoors: Direct sow in spring after the last frost, or in late summer.

Prepare Your Materials

• Seed-starting trays or pots (if indoors)
• Well-draining potting mix
• Spray bottle for misting

Sowing the Seeds

• Surface sow — scatter on moist mix and press down; do not cover, as light is needed for germination.
• Sow thinly; the seed is fine.

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: Bright light from sowing; full sun for growing plants.
• Temperature: 65–75°F (18–24°C).
• Humidity: Keep the surface evenly moist until germination.

Germination

• Germination in about 7 to 21 days.
• Grow on in cooler, bright conditions once sprouted.

Transplanting

• Plant out after frost danger, spacing as below.
• Spacing: 12 to 24 inches apart.

Care Tips

• Sun: Full sun gives the best color and sturdiest stems.
• Water: Average; established plants are drought tolerant. Avoid rich, constantly wet soil, which makes stems floppy.
• Fertilizer: Rarely needed; yarrow flowers best in lean soil.
• Deadhead spent clusters to prolong bloom; cut back after the first flush for a second round. Divide crowded clumps every few years in spring or fall.

Bloom Time:

Blooms early summer into fall; early sowings may flower in their first year.
