Achillea millefolium, 'Paprika'
Achillea millefolium, commonly called common yarrow, is a rhizomatous, spreading, upright to mat-forming perennial from Europe and Asia that was originally introduced to America in colonial times and has since naturalized throughout the U.S.
Paprika' is a spreading, mat-forming common yarrow cultivar that is noted for its deeply-dissected, fern-like, aromatic, medium-green foliage and its tiny, long-lasting, dusty-red flowers with yellow centers which appear in dense, flattened, compound corymbs (to 2-3" across) throughout the summer on stems typically rising 1.5-2' tall. The initial flower color fades, sometimes rather quickly, to light pink, creamy yellow, and brown. Foliage has a strong, somewhat spicy aroma which persists when used in dried arrangements.

Winter Shipping: We will continue to ship throughout winter. If you prefer, we are happy to hold your order until spring; please include that request in your shipping notes.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.
