Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; do not cover completely as light aids germination. Keep soil consistently moist at around 65-70°F. Germination typically occurs in 10-21 days. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant to individual pots or space 12-18 inches apart in the garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater regularly during establishment, then reduce frequency as plants mature. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering. In colder zones, apply a light mulch in winter to protect crowns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e200 Jolt Cherry Carnation seeds (Dianthus caryophyllus 'Jolt Cherry').\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67824693215542,"sku":"FOLIA2-999","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7367963664_gt0v.jpg?v=1793004145","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/200-jolt-cherry-carnation-seeds-soft-pink-double-blooms-fragrant-hardy-perennial-dianthus","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
