Planting & Care

Sow Firewitch Carnation seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; they need light to germinate. Keep the soil consistently moist and maintain a temperature of around 65-70°F (18-21°C). Germination typically occurs in 10-21 days.

Once seedlings have developed a few true leaves, transplant them to individual pots or into the garden after hardening off. Space plants 8-12 inches apart in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep root system. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. In late fall, cut back foliage to promote healthy growth the following spring.
