Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; they need light to germinate. Keep soil moist but not waterlogged at around 65-70°F (18-21°C). Germination typically occurs in 10-21 days. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant to individual pots or space 12-18 inches apart in the garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater regularly during dry spells, but avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal issues. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering. In colder zones, apply a light mulch in winter for protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e200 Double Picotee Carnation seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67795613122870,"sku":"FOLIA2-680","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7413418595_kuhh.jpg?v=1792671957","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/200-double-picotee-carnation-seeds-frilled-garden-flowers-for-planting","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
