Sow Pinball Wizard Carnation seeds indoors in a seed-starting mix, lightly covering them with soil. Keep the medium consistently moist and maintain a warm temperature for best germination. Once seedlings have developed several true leaves and all danger of frost has passed, harden them off and transplant to a sunny garden location with well-drained soil.
