Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; do not cover completely, as light aids germination. Keep the soil moist and maintain a temperature of 65-70°F (18-21°C). Germination typically occurs in 10-21 days. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. In colder zones, provide winter protection or grow as annuals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e200 Orange Sherbet Carnation seeds (Dianthus caryophyllus) for garden planting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67824690757942,"sku":"FOLIA2-992","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7416031145_cemx.jpg?v=1793004136","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/200-orange-sherbet-carnation-seeds-for-planting-dianthus-caryophyllus-orange-blooms","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
