Details
Marigold ‘Paprika’ produces masses of small red flowers with golden edging all summer into fall. This pretty signet marigold has a neat mound forming habit of fresh green, finely cut, citrus scented foliage that smells fabulous as you brush past it. It is perfect for path edging, containers and gravel gardens but fits in just as well in cottage borders and full sun traditional beds.
