Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; they need light to germinate. Maintain a temperature of 65-70°F and keep the soil consistently moist. Germination typically occurs in 10-21 days. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them to individual pots or into the garden after hardening off.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during dry spells, but avoid overhead watering to prevent foliage diseases. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering. In colder zones, apply a light mulch in winter for protection. With minimal care, these carnations will reward you with fragrant, colorful blooms season after season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e200 Chabaud Mix Carnation seeds (Dianthus caryophyllus).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67795515081014,"sku":"FOLIA2-168","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7364501020_el9s.jpg?v=1792670881","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/200-chabaud-mix-carnation-seeds-dianthus-caryophyllus-fragrant-blooms-for-garden-bouquets","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
