Achillea millefolium 'Paprika'
WHICH POT SIZE?
9cm is the width of the pot. 1L, 1.5L and 3L describe how much it holds, rather than how tall the plant will grow.
A smaller pot gives you a young plant to grow on; a larger pot usually gives you a more established root system. Check the height and spread below for the room it will need in the garden.

Achillea are very useful plants indeed, as they thrive in most soils, as long as they are well drained. Drought resistant they also repel slugs and are not particularly attractive to rabbits either. 'Paprika' forms mats of lush green finely divided, slightly hairy foliage, over which stems of huge great plates of flowers hover horizontally, each plate made up of hundreds of tiny bee magnet flowerheads. Opening ruby red in the first instance, the individual flowers fade to pink and then mustard, creating a patchwork of colour on each plate which provides interest throughout summer from June to September. Very hardy, this plant will revel in full sun, part sun or part shade, and the stems can also be used as a long lasting cut flower for the vase.
