Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; they need light to germinate. Keep the growing medium consistently moist 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 several true leaves, transplant them to a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during dry spells, and apply a balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks to encourage healthy growth and abundant blooms. Deadhead spent flowers to prolong flowering. In colder zones, provide winter protection or grow as an annual.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e200 Pink Chianti Carnation seeds (Dianthus caryophyllus) for garden planting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67824688890166,"sku":"FOLIA2-987","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7416536487_rxqr.jpg?v=1793004122","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/200-pink-chianti-carnation-seeds-for-planting-dianthus-caryophyllus-bicolor-blooms","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
