I love achillea. I got a terracotta one last year. It has done really well this year, except that it has turned yellow. I'm a little bit disappointed...

My terracotta has turned yellow too...??.....Im hoping they will be better next year, this is their first...:>)

Strange, isn't it? I saw this before I saw your other photo. Mine's even yellower. Here's hoping for next year!

Perhaps they are meant to fade Mel?..Did you grow the terracotta last year?

20 Aug, 2013

 

I did, Moti, and it was a true terracotta colour. This year one flower was a pale terracotta before fading, but all the others were yellow from start to finish. I think it has reverted.

Funny you should say that Mel....I was reading in Garden News last night that 'terracotta' does turn yellow and eventually cream....I didnt know that, did you?....:>)

No. I didn't. Does that mean the flowers naturally turn from terracotta through to cream each season, or is the change permanent?

21 Aug, 2013

 

Just each season, starting terracotta, yellow, then cream....

21 Aug, 2013

 

Well - let's hope so. 8 of mine started off yellow! They are cream now, though.

Nature is a strange thing Mel.....

Yes - it would be boring if we could predict everything! They still look nice.
