Yarrow - Paprika
The Yarrow ‘Paprika’, Achillea millefolium, is an upright gold centered, fading to light pink & creamy yellow, Yarrow that blooms from June through September. With fern-like aromatic silvery to gray-green foliage, it is considered to be one of the best yarrows in any landscape. The foliage has a somewhat strong, spicy aroma, which persists when used in dried arrangements. The flower heads are 3-4” wide, with a spread of 18-24” and a height of 24”. This Yarrow does well in average garden soils, but prefers lean, dry to medium wet, well-drained soil. (Avoid heavy clays and moist, rich, fertile soils. ) Yarrow should be planted in full sun and is tolerant to hot humid summers. ‘Paprika’ is excellent for cutting, fresh or dried. Remove faded flowers regularly to promote continued blooming. Inclined to spread, so site this carefully or plan to reduce the clumps each spring. For an attraction to butterflies, deer and rabbit resistant, one can’t go wrong with this plant. ... details
Coral Bells - Amber Waves The Heuchera 'Amber Waves', Heuchera micrantha, also known as Coral Bells and Alumroot, is a gold leaf coral bells! After years of waiting, the folks at Terra Nova have produced one of the most unique coral bells that we have ever grown. Heuchera 'Amber Waves', which won the "Best New Plant" Award for 2001 at the largest UK nursery trade show, emerges with heavily ruffled golden new foliage that changes to a burnished orange as the leaves age, echoing the fall coloration of leaves on the trees. The light rose flowers that top the plant in spring create quite a stirring combination with the foliage. You will be dazzled by this new introduction and a winner of several European awards. From Dan Heims' prolific breeding program, the light rose colored flowers definitely play second fiddle to the stunning, ruffled, amber gold foliage. |
