Planting Guide:

1. When to Plant: Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors after the last frost.
2. Planting Location: Choose a sunny or partially shaded spot with well-draining soil. Carnations thrive in full sun but can tolerate light shade.
3. Soil Preparation: Ensure the soil is slightly acidic to neutral and well-draining. Adding organic matter or compost can improve soil structure and fertility.
4. Watering: Water regularly, keeping the soil evenly moist, but avoid overwatering. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
5. Maintenance: Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming, and remove damaged or dead foliage to maintain a neat and tidy plant.
