Achillea millefolium ‘Terracotta’

PLANTING and AFTERCARE GUIDE
Best Planting Time

Plant Achillea millefolium ‘Terracotta’ in either spring or autumn. This allows the plant to establish its roots before the peak growing season. Ensure the soil is well-drained to promote healthy root growth.

Site Selection

Achillea millefolium ‘Terracotta’ thrives in full sun, which helps produce its vibrant terracotta flowers. Select a sunny spot in your garden, but it can tolerate partial shade if needed. Ensure the soil is well-drained, as poor drainage may hinder growth.

Planting Instructions
  1. Prepare the Hole: Dig a hole twice as wide as the plant’s root ball.
  2. Soil Preparation: Incorporate organic matter or compost to enhance drainage and nutrient availability.
  3. Planting Depth: Place your Achillea in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil. Backfill with soil and firm gently.
  4. Watering: Water thoroughly after planting to help settle the soil and establish the plant.
Watering

Once established, Achillea is relatively drought-tolerant. Water sparingly during dry spells, as over-watering can lead to root rot. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings to maintain optimal plant health.

Feeding

A light application of balanced fertiliser in early spring will encourage healthy growth. If needed, apply another light feeding after the first bloom to prolong flowering throughout the season.

Pruning

Deadhead spent flowers to encourage repeat blooming and maintain a neat appearance. At the end of the flowering season, cut back the plant to the base to prepare for the next growing season.

Mulching

Apply a layer of organic mulch around the plant to help retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate temperature.

Winter Care

In preparation for winter, a mulch layer can help protect the plant’s roots during the colder months. No additional winter protection is typically necessary for Achillea as it is a hardy perennial.

By following these guidelines, Achillea millefolium ‘Terracotta’ will thrive and add a warm, earthy hue to your garden.

    You always take a chance when you order from a nursery you haven’t tried before but no worries here. Plants arrived quickly and in good health with well established root systems. Planted out and hopefully will produce lovely strong plants.

    Great, healthy plant, a good size for planting out. This plant was accidentally missed from being packed with my order but was spotted by Proctors straight away. They rang me to explain what had happened and to let me know that it would be posted immediately. It arrived the next day. Thank you, this is first class service.
