Description
Paprika Yarrow (Achillea) is a fast-growing perennial that adds fiery color to summer gardens with its clusters of tomato-red blooms accented by creamy white centers. Its finely textured, fern-like gray-green foliage provides a soft backdrop that contrasts beautifully with its vivid flowers, making it a standout in borders, beds, and fresh-cut arrangements. Blooming from early to late summer, Paprika Yarrow is highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, while remaining deer-resistant and drought-tolerant—perfect for pollinator-friendly and low-water gardens.
Growing up to 24 inches tall and wide, this mounded perennial thrives in full sun and poor, well-drained soil, where it performs best without excessive fertilization. Its spreading nature makes it excellent for mass plantings, naturalized areas, or as a colorful filler in containers. Hardy and pollution-tolerant, Paprika Yarrow requires little care beyond spring cleanup and occasional watering during dry spells. With its long bloom season and resilience, this variety is an easy choice for vibrant, water-wise landscapes.
