Achillea
millefolium 'paprika' * Yarrow |
| Achillea paprika has the finely dissected green leaves of the
California native species. The clear fire engine red blooms are most
prevalent in the spring and into the early summer. The flowers gradually fade to
cream and then brown. The clump gradually spreads by underground runners and is easily
divided. I have yet to see damage due to cold. It does look very bedraggled
while enduring, but
can withstand a summer of drought in our inland valleys. Achillea
paprika is a nectar source for the Checkerspot
Butterfly Species and is a great addition to the butterfly
garden.
