Planting & Care

Sow Fuchsia Love Carnation seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface and keep them moist but not soggy. Provide a warm, bright location for germination, which typically occurs in 10-21 days. Once seedlings have developed a few sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions before planting in the garden after the danger of frost has passed.

Choose a sunny to partially shaded spot with well-drained soil. Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry spells. Mulch around the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering. In colder zones, apply a layer of mulch in winter to protect the roots. With proper care, these carnations will reward you with fragrant, colorful blooms year after year.
