Planting & Care
Sow Georgia Peach Pie 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; they need light to germinate. Keep soil moist but not waterlogged at around 65-70°F. Germination typically occurs in 10-21 days. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them to individual pots or into the garden after hardening off.
Choose a sunny location with 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. With proper care, these carnations will reward you with fragrant, colorful blooms season after season.
