How to grow:
 
The thin seeds need to be handled very carefully during sowing.  Fresh seeds need to be placed in light proof and air sealed container until the seed is ready to plant.
The planting medium for the Dianthus seeds should comprise of one part of sand, three parts of potting soil, two parts organic composts and one part of peat moss.
Mix all these potting soil materials together and slightly moist the potting mix.
Spread the seed on the soil and cover them lightly with some of the potting mix.
Spray water on the soil using a sprayer and place the seed tray in a place where there is sunlight.
Remember to keep the soil moist until the seeds germinate.  It will take 8 to 10 days for the seeds to germinate.
Once the seedlings are about 10cm tall, they need to be shifted to a permanent, sunny location outdoors.
