Planting & Care

Sow Fringed Pink Carnation seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors in prepared beds after the danger of frost has passed. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; they need light to germinate. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, and maintain a temperature around 65–70°F (18–21°C). Germination typically occurs in 14–21 days.

Once seedlings have developed a few true leaves, transplant them to their final location, spacing them 12–18 inches apart. Choose a site with full sun and well-drained soil. Water regularly during establishment, then reduce frequency as plants mature. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering. In colder zones, provide winter protection with a layer of mulch.
