How to grow Signet marigold 'Paprika'

  • Full Sun

  • Medium

Position in a full sun location and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Paprika is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside.

Growing Paprika from seed

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 1.30 feet (40.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.78 inches (2.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 18°C / 64°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Paprika about 49 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Paprika

As Paprika is tender, ensure temperatures are mild enough to plant out - wait until after your last frost date to be on the safe side.
