    I loved this plant until a few years ago when it became so invasive I couldn't keep up with the deadheading.
    This plant will fill quite a large area in a matter for three years.
    I have been digging it out when I find small plants while weeding.

    'Terra Cotta' is a selection of our native yarrow that has multicolored flower heads ranging from salmon-peach to pale yellow-orange to terra cotta all appearing at the same time. Flowering is all summer if dead-headed often. About 30 inches tall, foliage silvery. Wants full sun, average to dry soil.
