Terracotta Yarrow is a standout perennial in the renowned 'New Vintage' series, prized for its unique, warm-toned blooms and exceptionally tidy, non-flopping habit. Its flat-topped clusters of flowers emerge in captivating shades of soft peach, terracotta, and dusty pink, maturing to creamy beige, creating a beautiful multi-toned effect. Combined with its feathery, aromatic gray-green foliage and upright, sturdy stems, this plant offers long-lasting color, superb structure, and effortless care, making it a top choice for sunny, low-maintenance gardens and stunning cut or dried flower arrangements.

Warm Terracotta-to-Cream Flower Clusters: Produces large, flat umbels of tiny flowers that bloom in unique, warm shades of peach, terracotta, and pink, gradually fading to soft cream, providing dynamic color interest.
Exceptional Upright, Non-Flopping Habit: Part of the improved 'New Vintage' series, it features strong, upright stems that reliably hold the flower clusters aloft without collapsing, even after rain.
Feathery, Aromatic Foliage: Features finely dissected, fern-like, gray-green leaves that are aromatic when crushed and provide fine texture in the garden year-round.
Long Blooming and Excellent for Cutting: Flowers from early to late summer. The sturdy, long stems and long-lasting blooms make it perfect for fresh bouquets and for drying.
Extremely Tough and Low Maintenance: Thrives in full sun and poor, dry, well-drained soil. It is highly drought-tolerant, deer and rabbit resistant, and attracts pollinators.

Knowing how we measure the size?

When browsing our plants, you may notice size terms such as Gallon, Multi, or Stand. These describe how a plant is grown, containerized, or structured at the time of sale — not just its height. Understanding these terms will help you choose the right plant for your space and expectations.

🌱 Gallon Size (Container Size)

Gallon refers to the size of the nursery container the plant is currently growing in (e.g. 1 Gallon, 5 Gallon, 15 Gallon).

A larger gallon size generally means:
- A more established root system
- A sturdier plant
- Faster visual impact after planting
Example:
- 5 Gallon: Ideal for residential gardens, easy to handle, good balance of value and maturity
- 15 Gallon: More mature, provides quicker results in the landscape

Note: Gallon size does not guarantee a specific height, as growth varies by species.

🌳 Multi (Multi-Trunk / Multi-Branch Form)

Multi indicates the plant has multiple trunks or main stems growing from the base.

Commonly used for:
- Ornamental trees
- Feature plants
- Japanese maples, olives, crepe myrtles, etc.
Why choose Multi:
- Fuller, more sculptural appearance
- Strong visual presence even at younger ages
- Popular for design-focused landscapes

🌲 Stand (Single-Trunk / Standard Form)

Stand (short for Standard) refers to a single, dominant trunk with a raised or naturally formed canopy.

Commonly used for:
- Shade trees
- Street trees
- Orchard and structural plantings
Why choose Stand:
- Clean, classic tree form
- Easier clearance for walkways and lawns
- Preferred for long-term structure and uniformity

🌿 Choosing the Right Size

If you want instant impact → larger Gallon, Multi form
If you want long-term structure → Stand form
If you want flexibility and value → mid-size Gallon containers

If you’re unsure which size or form fits your project, our team is happy to help you select the best option based on your space, timeline, and design goals.

Q: How do I encourage more blooms?
A: Deadheading (removing spent flower clusters) is highly recommended. Cut the flower stem back to a side bud or to the base foliage. This not only keeps the plant looking neat but often stimulates a second, lighter flush of blooms in late summer or fall.

Q: Does it spread aggressively?
A: Common yarrow (Achillea millefolium) can spread vigorously by rhizomes. While the 'New Vintage' series cultivars are generally better-behaved and more clump-forming than the species, they may still spread moderately. To control spread, divide the clump every 2-3 years in spring or fall, or plant it in a location where it has room to naturalize.
