Unique Facts About Seeds

  • Caryophyllus is associated with Dianthus caryophyllus, commonly known as the carnation.
  • The botanical name Dianthus comes from Greek words meaning “divine flower.”
  • Carnations have been cultivated as ornamental flowers for centuries.
  • Their fragrant flowers are especially valued for ornamental displays and cut-flower arrangements.

Growing Instructions

Planting Season: Sow during a season appropriate for carnations in your local climate, avoiding periods of extreme heat or frost.

Sowing: Scatter seeds over finely prepared, moist soil and gently press them into the surface. Cover lightly with a thin layer of fine soil.

Depth & Spacing: Sow shallowly and provide approximately 20–30 cm between established plants to allow good airflow and growth.

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

Soil: Use fertile, well-drained soil with good organic matter. Avoid heavy, poorly draining soil.

Watering: Water gently after sowing and maintain even moisture during germination. Once established, water when the upper soil begins to dry.

Germination: Seeds commonly germinate within approximately 7–14 days when provided with suitable moisture, temperature, and growing conditions.

Transplanting: When seedlings develop several true leaves and are sturdy enough to handle, transplant them carefully while disturbing the roots as little as possible.

Fertilizing: Feed established plants with a balanced flower fertilizer according to the product label and growing conditions.

Care: Provide adequate spacing and airflow, remove faded blooms, control weeds, and monitor plants for common garden pests and fungal problems.

Flowering/Maturity: Flowering generally begins several months after sowing, with timing varying by cultivar, planting season, and local growing conditions.
