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 10-21 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots or harden them off and plant in the garden after the last frost. Space plants 12-18 inches apart in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during dry spells, and deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering. In colder zones, apply a light mulch in winter to protect the crowns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e200 Joly Purple Carnation seeds (Dianthus caryophyllus).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67824692396342,"sku":"FOLIA2-997","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7368016470_f047.jpg?v=1793004141","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/200-joly-purple-carnation-seeds-deep-purple-double-blooms-fragrant-hardy-perennial-dianthus","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
