How to Grow Carnation Mix from Seeds: 

1. Timing:  Start Carnation Mix seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last expected frost date in your area. Carnations require a long growing season to bloom, so early sowing is essential.

2. Seed Starting Mix:  Use a well-draining seed starting mix or potting soil for indoor sowing. Fill seed trays or small pots with the mix, lightly pressing it down to ensure good seed-to-soil contact.

3. Sowing Seeds:  Place Carnation Mix seeds on the soil surface, spacing them about 1/4 inch apart. Cover the seeds lightly with a thin layer of soil and gently press down to ensure good seed-to-soil contact.

4. Moisture:  Water the soil gently to settle the seeds in place. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. You can cover the trays or pots with a clear plastic lid or plastic wrap to help retain moisture until the seeds germinate.

5. Light:  Carnation seeds require light for germination, so place the seed trays in a bright location, preferably near a sunny window or under grow lights. Once the seedlings emerge, remove the cover and continue to provide adequate light.

6. Germination:  Carnation seeds typically germinate within 7-14 days when kept at temperatures around 65-75°F (18-24°C). Once the seedlings emerge, thin them to about 6-8 inches apart to give them room to grow.

7. Transplanting:  When the seedlings have developed several sets of true leaves and all risk of frost has passed, they can be transplanted into the garden. Choose a location with full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil.

8. Care:  Provide regular water to newly transplanted seedlings to help them establish. Once established, water Carnation plants deeply and infrequently to encourage deep root growth. Deadhead spent flowers regularly to promote continuous blooming and prevent seed formation.

By following these simple steps, you can grow a stunning array of Carnation Mix flowers from seeds and enjoy their beauty and fragrance in your garden or home throughout the growing season.
