Press seeds lightly into the soil surface and keep moist but not waterlogged at around 65-70°F (18-21°C). Germination typically occurs in 14-21 days. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions before planting in the garden after the danger of frost has passed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during establishment, then reduce frequency as plants mature. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming and maintain a tidy appearance. In colder zones, apply a light mulch in winter to protect the crown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e200 Dianthus 'Greystone' seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67795545424182,"sku":"FOLIA2-476","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7413381309_rct5.jpg?v=1792671517","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/200-dianthus-greystone-carnation-seeds-hardy-white-perennial-flowers","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
