Yarrow 'Paprika'

Achillea millefolium 'Paprika' Yarrow is a wonderful evergreen perennial plant that forms a charming 1-2' tall mat of soft, feathery, fern-like foliage and spreads by rhizomes. This 'Paprika' cultivar produces tiny, long-lasting flowers in a lovely deep-red hue featuring cheerful yellow centers that bloom in dense, flattened clusters all summer long. These sturdy flower stems typically grow to a height of 1.5-3'. Over time, the initial vibrant flower colors gracefully fade to soft shades of light pink, creamy yellow, and warm brown. The foliage offers a pleasant, mildly spicy fragrance, which also shines when included in dried arrangements, adding a touch of nature's beauty indoors. Thrives in full sun to dappled shade (in Texas, prefers more sun in northern states) in well-draining soils. Best grown in lean, dry to medium, well-drained sandy loams. Plants do well in average garden soils and tolerate poor soils as long as drainage is good. Plants also tolerate hot, humid summers and
