Starting Carnations From Seed For Mother's Day, How To Sow Carnation Seeds

[@moviemonster2083]

About a week ago, I planted seven seeds from a flower pod that came from my own carnation plant. I have one more pod for the spring, but I wanted to see if the other pod's seeds would germinate, and they have! Six out of seven and I've reduced them to four. So, success, and I'm a proud parent. Let's see if I can coax them to maturity and flowering in the next month or so. ;)

I have been watching all your flower sowing videos and they are very helpful. I already grow a lot of vegetables but my sister wants me to grow some flowers too. I normally just do companion plants for veg. I really like your videos and wanted to thank you.Take care everyone and stay safe 😘😊🤗

I'm trying to grow carnations from seed in a zone 3 garden for May wedding this year. I just started them yesterday. I hope they bloom in time, but I may have waited too long! In your experience with these, how many days to germinate did they take; and how long to get true leaves? Thank you so much for this video. I feel very encouraged

Hi..i grew these also from seed..will I be able to collect seeds from these this yr you think?

[@YvrGirl]

I just tried to grow carnations. The seedlings sprouted. I used miracle fro germination soil. The leaves are green but I am noticing some leaves curling down and touching the stem and a couple that are curling upwards. They are green but should I be worried?

[@carriesgardeningchannel856]

Sometimes the leaves on these do curl around. I would keep watching them.

Where do you get your carnation seeds?

[@mariebutler6912]

Can I grow the carnation seeds on a windowsill at home and when can they be transplanted outside please?

[@carriesgardeningchannel856]

If they don't get enough light they will grow tall and leggy you want to make sure they will get enough light.

You're welcome!

Can i plant them in loam soil?

[@laurieclarkson9180]

What gardening zone are you in? and do you periodically pinch/trim these as they grow?

[@carriesgardeningchannel856]

I am gardening in Pennsylvania zone 5b. You can pinch and trim them but it will delay your blooming.

Carrie, did you have success with this?

[@carriesgardeningchannel856]

Yes I did, I still have the plants.

[@lindybridgman9319]

@@carriesgardeningchannel856 when did you transplant outside? Thank you for answering!

[@carriesgardeningchannel856]

Mine are greenhouse residents. You can transplant these outside after the danger of frost has passed. You will want to check your growing zone to see if they will be a perennial for you. Your welcome!
