- Produces tiny delicate Scarlet-red flowers
- Attracts lots of bees and butterflies
- Ideal for your cottage, coastal or wildlife garden
Achillea millefolium Paprika, commonly known as Yarrow, will transform your garden with its abundant display of delicate, scarlet-red flowers boasting sunny yellow centres. This upright, herbaceous perennial features attractive dark green foliage and is a magnet for pollinating insects like bees and butterflies, making it a delightful addition to cottage, coastal, or wildlife gardens. Awarded the RHS Award for Plants for Pollinators, this variety is as beneficial as it is beautiful.
Beyond its ornamental appeal, Yarrow offers culinary possibilities. Young leaves, though slightly bitter, can be added raw to salads or cooked as a vegetable. The plant also acts as a natural preservative and flavouring for beer, while its flowers can be steeped into an aromatic tea.
Yarrow thrives in full sun or partial shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil. It's adaptable to various soil conditions, except heavy, waterlogged clay. Improve drainage by incorporating coarse grit or sharp sand into the soil before planting.
