True blue carnations are not generally available as ordinary naturally blue varieties. Some specially developed carnations produce purple-mauve or blue-toned shades. Confirm the actual flower color and cultivar with the seed supplier before purchasing.
Carnation seeds generally germinate within 7–14 days under suitable conditions. Flowering may take several months, depending on the variety, planting time, temperature, and growing environment.
Grow carnations in a sunny location with fertile, well-drained soil and adequate spacing for airflow. Water moderately, remove faded flowers, and provide suitable nutrition. For varieties that produce multiple buds, removing side buds can help develop larger individual blooms.
