How to grow Pink Ice Candytuft seeds

Choose Your Planting Method

• Indoors: Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost.
• Outdoors: Direct sow outdoors in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked, or in fall in mild-winter areas.

Prepare Your Materials

• Seed-starting trays or pots (if indoors)
• Well-draining potting mix
• Spray bottle for misting

Sowing the Seeds

• Sow 1/8 inch (3 mm) deep and press in lightly — barely covered, as the seeds germinate best with some light.

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: Full sun; seedlings need strong light to grow stocky.
• Temperature: Around 65–70°F (18–21°C).

Germination

• Seedlings usually appear in 14–21 days.
• Grow on in bright light until sturdy enough to plant out.

Transplanting

• Plant out after the last frost.
• Harden off indoor-started plants for a week before planting out.
• Spacing: Space or thin plants to 8–12 inches (20–30 cm) apart.

Care Tips

• Sun: Full sun to partial shade; dislikes damp, shady spots.
• Water: Average water needs; avoid soggy soil.
• Fertilizer: Not a heavy feeder; a light feeding is enough if growth is weak.
• Deadheading spent flowers encourages a longer bloom period; trim back by about a third after blooming to prevent legginess.

Bloom Time:

Blooms in spring to early summer, about 60–70 days from sowing.
