Can the flower Carnation, be bought as a seed?
yes you have to Instill it in soil and wait for some weeks may some months to see the flower growing.

You can try more fragrant varieties of favorite annuals such as nicotiana or grow less well-known plants, such as airy Brazilian verbena (Verbena bonariensis) or firecracker vine (Mina lobata).



You can start perennials that may not be available at your local garden centre, and when it comes to vegetables and herbs, you can find more flavorful varieties that put supermarket produce to shame.



Starting your own plants isn't too difficult once you get the basic techniques down.



Step-by-step sowing instructions



Most packets have growing information printed on the back. In general, annuals and vegetables germinate quickly and are easy to grow, so if you are just getting started, these are your best bet.



Annuals tend to germinate at temperatures between 64 to 70F (18 to 21C), but many perennials need cold treatment to break dormancy.



In the real world outside, they lie on the ground all winter and then sprout when the weather warms in spring. You can mimic this in the refrigerator or outside in a cold frame.



See more information on getting organized, timing and how much to sow.



What to use as a growing mixFor sowing, use a commercial starting medium (a mix of peat, perlite and vermiculite, such as Pro-Mix).



Moisten it an hour or so before sowing. It should not be soggy - aim for the moisture of a wrung-out sponge.



As general rule, sow seeds about as far below the growing mix as they are large. Big ones generally should be covered with growing mix, and tiny ones barely need to be covered.



If light is needed for germination, do not cover them at all - just press them into the growing mix.



Give all trays or pots a light watering and cover with a plastic dome lid or seal the container inside a plastic bag.



Newly sprouted seedlings tend to look alike, so be sure to label containers as you sow.





More sowing tips Small seeds can be a bit tricky. A simple solution is fold a piece of paper and then pour the contents of your packet into the fold and tap the end of the paper lightly so that the contents can slide down onto your germination mix.



If they stick, sprinkle them with a little baby or talcum powder to reduce the static cling.



Caring for your baby plants As soon as you notice germination, remove the plastic dome or plastic bag.



Make sure seedlings have plenty of light. Check daily for moisture, but avoid over-watering. Read more %26gt;
Reply:The huge Carnation flowers bought from florist shops are hybrids that are grown from cuttings, rather than from seed (they were initially bred by growing seeds though).



Otherwise, you can grow some smaller Carnation plants by seed, quite easily. Some are annual, others are perennial - lasting for a few years.



Here's a link to Thompson %26amp; Morgan seeds, showing a lovely red trailing perennial variety : http://seeds.thompson-morgan.com/uk/en/p...



See also this perennial highly fragrant one: http://seeds.thompson-morgan.com/uk/en/p...



And these perennial striped gorgeous flowers: http://seeds.thompson-morgan.com/uk/en/p...



Otherwise, they have some great annual types, including this 'black' and white type: http://seeds.thompson-morgan.com/uk/en/p...



Search around and you'll find many more. A packet of seed may contain 100's of seeds, so is a relatively cheap method of propagation. Cuttings are fairly easy too, if you know anyone with some plants that would let you have a few. Just use some sharp sand, mixed in with potting compost, and add some rooting hormone, to help with their rooting - the sand helps stop rotting away.



Hope this helps. Good luck! Rob
Reply:yes, though you may not be able to get some of the colours sold by florists.



Another similar plant you may enjoy is dianthus, they are like a dwarf version of carnation and can be bought as seed or seedlings.
Reply:Yes. I saw carnation seeds at Lowe's last week. If Lowe's has them then Home Depot probably does, also. I googled "carnation seed" also and I found sites selling them.
Reply:all flowers can either be bought as seeds or bulbs. carnations are of the seed variety. seeds need to be planted every year whereas bulbs only need planting once.
Reply:Yes. I've seen then in garden centers packaged in seed envelopes. They are usually annual though, not perennials.
Reply:Sure can charbaud is a nice easy one to propagate



Sutton's seed is a big supplier but I am sure you'll find a local supplier if you just put CARNATION SEEDS In the google box and press go
