Achillea millefolium ''Paprika''

Achillea millefolium (Paprika Yarrow)

Paprika Yarrow

Paprika Yarrow is renowned for its large clusters of bright red flowers. Each individual flower in the cluster also has a distinctive yellow eye. As is the case with all Yarrows, the flowers fade as they age; Paprika Yarrow fades from red to pink. Planting in afternoon shade will slow the fading a bit. Adding to its good looks is the fern-like deep green foliage. Paprika Yarrow is everblooming with regular deadheading and is best used in the perennial border where it enjoys enriched soil and regular watering.
