Planting & Care

Sow Etincellant Carnation seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface and keep them moist; they need light to germinate. Maintain a temperature of 65-70°F (18-21°C). Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions before planting in the garden after the danger of frost has passed.

Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during dry spells, but avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal issues. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering. In colder zones, provide winter protection with a layer of mulch. With proper care, these carnations will reward you with vibrant red blooms season after season.
