    Overall rating: 3.0 / 5 from 2 reviews.

    I bought this and the Etincellant variation. Both seeds had insanely high germination rate, and sprang up super quickly! I planted both under a grow light and sowed them directly.

    Carnation Seeds - La France

    Sprouted under grow lights on a heating pad. Only got two healthy plants. All the others had weak spindly stems crawling over the soil, never had the strength to grow into vertical plants.
