Achillea ‘Paprika' x 2 | Yarrow. | Cut back after bloom, divide when clumps get crowded. | ||||||
Acanthus x 3 | Dwarf Bear's Breech | Lop off prickly spikes after bloom. Have spreading roots that can become invasive, so give them room, or confine with an 8 inch deep barrier. To propagate, dig and divide between midfall and early spring. Control snails and slugs.</span> |
