Cultivation method:
Sow directly outdoors after all risk of frost for spectacular blooms 6-8 weeks after sowing. For a quicker start, start indoors in early April. Gently press seeds into the soil without covering them, as they need light to germinate. Maintain a temperature of 20°C (70°F) for rapid germination in 5-10 days.
Grow seedlings under artificial light before hardening off and transplanting outdoors in late May, spacing plants 4 to 7 inches (10 to 18 cm) apart. Red Chabaud brilliant carnations prefer well-drained soil and a sunny location, but they also tolerate partial shade in areas with hot summers.
After the first bloom, prune the plants lightly to encourage a second flush of flowers. These beautiful red carnations will brighten up your garden all summer long with their vibrant glow and delicate fragrance.
Chabaud brilliant red carnations, a sure bet for classic and vibrant gardens!
