Yarrow 'Paprika'

About this plant

Achillea millefolium 'Paprika' is a delightful herbaceous perennial renowned for its vivid, flat-topped flower clusters that burst with shades of red, gradually fading to soft yellow. This robust Yarrow cultivar creates a stunning visual impact in garden beds, borders, and meadowscapes throughout the summer and into fall. Its finely textured, fern-like foliage provides an attractive backdrop for the cheerful blooms, offering a delicate contrast to bolder plant forms. 'Paprika' is an excellent choice for cutting gardens, producing beautiful and long-lasting bouquets.

Care & maintenance

Achillea 'Paprika' is remarkably low-maintenance once established. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering and maintain a tidy appearance. Divide clumps every 3-4 years in spring or fall to rejuvenate the plant and prevent overcrowding. While generally pest and disease resistant, ensure good air circulation to prevent powdery mildew in humid conditions.
