Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best growing conditions for Paprika Yarrow?

Paprika Yarrow thrives in full sun and prefers well-draining soil. It tolerates poor, sandy, or rocky soils and is extremely drought-tolerant once established. Overly rich soils can cause it to become floppy, so leaner soils are actually better for stronger growth.

How large does Paprika Yarrow grow?

Paprika Yarrow typically grows to about 18–24 inches tall and 18–24 inches wide. It forms a dense, spreading clump with feathery, fern-like foliage and produces flat-topped clusters of bright red flowers with yellow centers that age to softer shades.

When does Paprika Yarrow bloom?

Paprika Yarrow blooms from early summer into early fall, typically June through September. Deadheading spent blooms can encourage additional flowering and maintain a neat appearance throughout the season.

Is Paprika Yarrow deer-resistant?

Yes, Paprika Yarrow is highly deer-resistant. Its aromatic foliage and slightly bitter taste make it unappealing to deer and rabbits, making it a great choice for landscapes that deal with browsing issues.

Does Paprika Yarrow attract pollinators?

Absolutely! Paprika Yarrow is a magnet for butterflies, bees, and other beneficial insects. Its long blooming period and dense flower clusters provide a reliable nectar source through the summer months.
