How to Plant and Care for Dianthus Georgia Peach Pie Seeds
Starting Seeds Indoors
- Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost.
- Use a light, well-draining seed-starting mix. Press the seeds lightly into the surface, as they need light to germinate.
- Keep the soil moist and maintain a temperature of 65-70°F (18-21°C) for optimal germination. Expect germination to take 7-14 days.
Transplanting Seedlings
- Once seedlings are large enough to handle and the frost danger has passed, transplant them into the garden or containers.
- Space the plants 8-12 inches apart to allow them room to grow and thrive.
Lighting
- Dianthus Georgia Peach Pie prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade. For best results and maximum blooming, plant them in a location that receives at least 6 hours of sunlight daily.
Watering
- Water regularly, but ensure the soil is well-draining to avoid root rot. Once established, these plants are relatively drought-tolerant.
Fertilizing
- Feed the plants with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer once a month during the growing season. This will help maintain strong growth and encourage more blooms.
Deadheading
