PLANTING and AFTERCARE GUIDE
Best Planting Time

Spring: Achillea millefolium ‘Paprika’ can be planted in early spring for optimal root development and vibrant summer blooms.

Autumn: Planting in autumn also allows time for the plant to establish before the next growing season.

Site Selection

Sunlight: Achillea thrives in full sun, which promotes healthy growth and an abundance of flowers.

Soil: Well-drained soil is key for this plant. While it adapts to various soil types, good drainage prevents root rot and supports strong growth.

Planting Instructions

Preparing the Hole: Dig a hole twice as wide and as deep as the root ball of the plant.

Soil Preparation: Incorporate compost or organic matter into the soil to enhance drainage and provide essential nutrients.

Planting: Place the plant in the hole with the top of the root ball level with the soil surface. Fill in the hole with soil, firm it down, and water thoroughly.

Watering

Establishment Period: After planting, water Achillea millefolium ‘Paprika’ regularly until it becomes established.

Drought Tolerance: Once established, this plant is drought tolerant. Water sparingly, as overwatering may affect growth.

Feeding

Spring: Apply a balanced fertiliser in early spring to support healthy growth as the plant begins its active growing season.

Mid-Summer: A light feeding after the first round of blooms can encourage a second flowering period.

Pruning and Deadheading

Deadheading: Regularly remove spent flowers to prolong the blooming season and maintain a neat appearance.

End of Season: Cut back the plant to ground level after its final bloom to prepare it for winter dormancy.

Mulching

Spring: A layer of mulch around the base of your Achillea helps to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Winter Protection: Applying mulch before winter helps protect the roots from harsh conditions.

Final Tips: Achillea millefolium ‘Paprika’ is a low-maintenance perennial that brings lasting colour and pollinator-friendly blooms to any garden. With proper care and attention, this hardy plant will reward you with a profusion of vibrant flowers throughout the summer.
