Growing Instructions:
-
Sowing: Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or outdoors after danger of frost is over. Surface sow as light aids germination. Maintain a temperature of 70°F for optimal germination.
-
Transplanting: Once seedlings have 2-3 true leaves, transplant to individual pots.
-
Planting Out: After the last frost, plant carnations 10-12 inches apart in a sunny location with well-draining soil.
-
Care: Water regularly but avoid waterlogging. Deadhead to promote new blooms. Mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Feed with a balanced fertilizer monthly during the growing season.
