Achillea millefolium 'Paprika'
Hardy zone: 4-8
Blooming Time:
June-September
Height: 24"/60cm
Family: Asteraceae
Origin:
The species is native to Europe and western Asia.

This profusely blooming plant bubbles with color throughout the summer, as attention-grabbing flat clusters of yellow centered, cherry-red flowers burst open, then slowly fade to pink. These are held on upright stems bearing aromatic, finely-cut fern-like foliage.

Grows well in full sun, in poor soil. Prefers some moisture but has good drought tolerance. Avoid soggy soils. An outstanding plant for the perennial border or the wild garden. Provides good flowers for both cutting and drying.
