Perennial Cultivation: Paprika Yarrow is probably the prettiest and most colorful of all the hybrid Yarrow's. Its brightly colored clusters of hot pink to reddish flowers make excellent signal flags for hummingbirds and bees.

Plant Paprika Yarrow in moist well drained soil, in full sun. It will endure light shade but it won't produce as many flowers as a full sun location. Paprika Yarrow grows well in most soil types. Once established it is drought tolerant.


Propagation:
"Paprika Yarrow" can be grown from seed. For quicker growth, purchase pre-started plants from your local Garden Center. Space new container grown plants 10" - 12" apart. Once established plants can be dug and divided in the spring.

Potential pests ~ diseases:
Aphids
