Achillea millefolium 'Paprika'
Choose Paprika Yarrow if you want tough, warm-color perennial massing for a dry, sunny bed; the tradeoff is the red flowers age lighter, so it will not stay the same deep shade all season.
Buy This If
You want red summer color.
Your soil runs dry.
You like pollinator activity.
Skip This If
The bed stays wet.
You need tidy blooms without deadheading.
Deer pressure is heavy.
PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
B+
The red-to-salmon flower shift gives good summer color, but it is not a fixed-color plant.
Growth Rate
A-
It fills in quickly for a perennial when planted in the right dry, sunny conditions.
Maintenance
B
It is not fussy, but spent blooms look better when cut back.
Deer Resistance
B+
Deer tend to leave this alone, though hungry deer may sample it where pressure is heavy.
Small Space Fit
B+
Its compact clumping habit works in smaller beds if you give it airflow.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Paprika Yarrow for hot, lean beds where richer perennials struggle. Avoid pairing it with plants that need steady moisture.

Customers Usually Ask
Does the flower stay red?
No, it opens red and softens toward salmon-pink as blooms age.
Should I deadhead it?
Yes, trim spent flower stems if you want a cleaner look and more bloom.
Is it good for pollinators?
Yes, the flat flower clusters are useful for bees and other small pollinators.
They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!

They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.

I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!

The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
