Step 3: Sow the Seeds
Scatter the seeds over moist seed-starting compost and press them gently into the surface. Cover with only a very thin layer of fine growing medium, as Dianthus seeds benefit from light during germination.

Step 5: Transplant the Seedlings
Once seedlings develop several true leaves and become strong enough to handle, transplant them carefully into individual pots or prepared garden beds. Maintain approximately 20–30 cm spacing for good airflow and healthy growth.
