Growing Instructions

Planting Season: Start seeds indoors before the last expected frost in cooler climates, or sow outdoors when the danger of frost has passed. In mild climates, seeds can be started during a suitable cool growing period.

Sowing: Scatter seeds over prepared, moist soil and gently press them into the surface. Cover very lightly with fine soil.

Depth: Sow shallowly, as carnation seeds need suitable access to moisture and warmth for germination.

Spacing: Once seedlings are established, thin or transplant them so plants have approximately eight to twelve inches of growing space.

Sunlight: Grow in a location receiving full sun for strong stems and abundant flowering.

Soil: Use fertile, well-drained soil. Avoid heavy, waterlogged ground, which can encourage root problems.

Watering: Keep soil consistently but moderately moist during germination and early growth. Once established, water when the soil surface begins to dry.

Germination: Seeds generally germinate within approximately one to three weeks when provided with suitable moisture, warmth, and growing conditions.

Transplanting: Move seedlings outdoors after they have developed several true leaves and outdoor conditions are favorable. Harden seedlings gradually before planting them permanently.

Fertilizing: Feed established plants with a balanced flower fertilizer according to the product label. Avoid excessive nitrogen, which can encourage foliage over flowers.

Care: Remove faded flowers regularly to encourage continued blooming. Maintain good spacing and airflow, and support plants if heavy flower stems begin to lean.

Flowering/Maturity: Plants generally bloom during the growing season after becoming established. Bloom timing varies with climate, planting time, and growing conditions.
