Scarlet Red Carnation (Dianthus Caryophyllus) Flower Seeds
Carnation flower seeds can be directly sown into your flower garden or started indoors for transplanting later. If planting outdoors, sow the flower seeds in the spring after the frost season is over. For indoors, start the Carnation seeds 6 weeks before the end of the frost season.
When sowing Carnation flower seeds, cover them lightly with fine soil the thickness of the seeds. Space seeds or seedlings approximately 12 inches apart. Pinch out the growing tips on seedlings when the plants are 2 - 3 inches in height. This encourages bushy growth.
Carnation flowers are very easy to grow. They prefer full sun and rich, well-drained soil. Water them during dry periods, once or twice per week. Add a general-purpose fertilizer once or twice a month, but no more than that or you will get too much foliage.
Carnations have few problems with insects and disease. Deadhead spent Carnation flowers to prolong bloom time.

I ordered Red Fountain you sent Red Bamboo #381. The other order was Red Dragon, you sent Orange Bamboo #391. Toadstoolseeds.com sent them. I sent you an email about this earlier. Can you send the correct seeds?
I bought some red sunflower seeds from this website. I also bought seeds from the big box store. The seeds I bought from this website sprouted first and look very robust. I am ordering more. Look for the next review once they bloom!!!
The seeds arrived quickly but we did not receive part of our order. We are still waiting for the ones we received to grow so too early for full review.
