Paprika Yarrow is an upright, mat-forming herbaceous perennial with deeply dissected aromatic grey-green foliage. Small bright red flowers with yellow centers bloom in huge clusters on sturdy stems above the foliage in summer and fade to pink, creamy yellow, or or brown. An excellent cut flower that retains color when dried. Heat and drought tolerant. Prefers full sun and well-drained soils.
