Achillea are great border plants for attracting pollinators, with their flat sprays or umbels of tiny, brightly coloured open flowers. 'Paprika' is a sturdy plant to 70cm high by 60cm spread, featuring scarlet red flowers, with a tiny golden eye, which fade as they age to a softer more subtle colour. The leaves are feathery and a nice shade of grey green which sets off the flowers beautifully. Great in a hot border, or as a hotspot in a cooler scheme, good as a cutting flower, and very hardy. Needs a moist, but well drained soil in sun or partial shade, and readily self seeds, so if you don't want more of them, make sure you deadhead regularly!
