Planting & Care

Sow Enfant de Nice Mix carnation seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors after danger of frost has passed. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface and keep moist; light aids germination. Maintain a temperature of 65–70°F. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant to individual pots or space them in the garden. Provide full sun and well-drained soil. Water regularly during dry spells, and deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering. In colder zones, apply a light mulch in winter for protection.
