Planting & Care
Sow Everlast Lavender Lace Carnation seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost date for best results. Press seeds lightly into the surface of a moist, well-drained seed-starting mix; do not cover deeply, as light aids germination. Keep the medium consistently moist but not soggy and maintain a temperature around 65–70°F. Germination typically occurs in 10–21 days. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and grow on in a bright, cool location before hardening off.
After the danger of frost has passed, plant outdoors in a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Water regularly during establishment, then reduce frequency as plants mature. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering and maintain good air circulation to help prevent disease. In colder zones, provide winter protection or grow as an annual.
