Sowing Instructions

 

Sow seeds indoors from February to April in trays or pots filled with moist, well-drained compost. Lightly press the seeds into the surface, but do not cover them, as they need light to germinate. Keep the compost moist and maintain a temperature of 18-21°C. Germination typically takes 10-14 days.

 

For outdoor sowing, wait until April to May, and choose a sunny, well-drained spot. Scatter seeds thinly and press them gently into the soil, but avoid covering them. Once the seedlings have grown large enough, transplant them into their final positions, spacing them 20-30 cm apart to allow room for growth.

 

Dianthus Baby Doll Mix thrives in full sun and will benefit from regular watering and occasional feeding with a balanced fertiliser. Deadhead regularly to encourage continuous blooming throughout the summer.

 

This petite and fragrant variety is perfect for adding cheerful colour and sweet scent to smaller garden spaces or containers. With its long-lasting blooms, Dianthus Baby Doll Mix is sure to be a favourite in any garden.
