Description How to Grow More Info Delivery
Vibrant orange-red flower heads top the ferny stems of this Yarrow before gently fading to warm salmon pink. The nectar rich, plate-like blooms appear from June to August, luring pollinating insects to summer borders. With its bold colours, Achillea ‘Paprika’ is particularly effective in prairie-style borders, especially when planted in large swathes. Like most Achilleas, this hardy perennial is tough and reliable on light sandy soils, and thrives in coastal positions. Perfect for sunny perennial borders and wildlife gardens. As an added bonus it makes a fabulous cut flower too. Height: 70cm (27").Spread: 50cm (20").

Plant out Achillea plants into any well-drained soil in full sun. Achillea plants dislike wet ground, particularly during winter. Improve heavy soil conditions by adding coarse grit or sharp sand prior to planting.
Once established, Yarrow is reasonably drought tolerant and requires little maintenance. In summer, stake the tall flower stems with garden canes to prevent them drooping and leave faded flower heads intact at the end of summer to enjoy an attractive autumn seed head display. When the first frosts blacken the stems, cut them down to ground level. Lift and divide overcrowded clumps of yarrow in spring. Caution: irritant to skin and eyes.
