Know before you buy
Pelleted seeds are coated in a clay-based material to make them larger and more uniform in shape. This makes them much easier to handle and sow accurately compared to tiny, raw seeds.
No, do not cover the seeds. They require light to germinate, so simply press them firmly into the surface of your moist seed-starting mix.
The blooms undergo a natural color shift as they mature. They begin as pure white and gradually transition through shades of pink and rose, eventually reaching a deep, rich rose hue.
These are versatile enough for both. They work well as garden accents or borders, but because they reach heights of up to 36 inches, they are also excellent for cut flower arrangements.
Dianthus Sweet Rose Magic prefers cooler temperatures. While they are annuals, you will see the best performance during the cooler parts of the growing season, such as spring or early autumn.
Under optimal conditions with a soil temperature between 65-70°F, you can expect to see germination within 4 to 7 days.
