Paprika Yarrow is a vibrant and long-blooming perennial that adds a sizzling pop of color to the sunny garden. Its flat-topped flower clusters emerge in a striking, rich red with a bright yellow center, slowly fading to soft terracotta and cream as they age, creating a beautiful multi-toned effect. The flowers are held on sturdy stems above a low mat of fragrant, fern-like, gray-green foliage. Extremely tough, drought-tolerant, and beloved by butterflies, this easy-care plant is a superstar for borders, meadows, and cutting gardens, providing months of reliable color with minimal effort.

Vibrant, Multi-Tonal Flower Clusters: Produces abundant, showy flower heads that open in a brilliant paprika-red with a sunny yellow eye, then gracefully fade to soft shades of terracotta, salmon, and cream. This color progression means multiple shades are often present on the same plant at once, creating a rich, tapestry-like effect.

Exceptionally Long Bloom Period: Blooms continuously from early summer through early fall, providing months of vibrant color with no deadheading required. A mid-summer shearing can encourage a fresh flush of flowers and maintain a tidy appearance.

Fragrant, Pest-Resistant Foliage: The soft, fern-like, gray-green foliage is aromatic when brushed and is highly unpalatable to deer and rabbits. It forms a dense, weed-suppressing mat that provides excellent ground cover even when the plant is not in bloom.

Extremely Tough and Adaptable: Thrives in hot, dry, windy conditions where many other perennials struggle. Once established, it is exceptionally drought-tolerant and performs beautifully in poor, lean soils. It is also highly resistant to pests and diseases.

Pollinator Magnet and Cut Flower Favorite: The nectar-rich flowers attract a constant parade of butterflies, bees, and other beneficial insects. The sturdy, long-lasting stems make excellent cut flowers for fresh arrangements and are also suitable for drying.
