Germination

Germinating Dianthus arenarius f. nanus seeds requires patience and precision. Cold stratification can help break dormancy.  Store the seeds in a moist medium in the refrigerator for a few weeks. After stratification, sow the seeds in a well-draining potting mix, covering them lightly with soil. Maintain a cool environment around 60-65°F (15-18°C). Germination can be slow and variable, taking several weeks to months. Once seedlings emerge, provide them with bright, indirect sunlight. Gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions before transplanting. Sand Pink's hardiness and adaptability to rocky environments make it a rewarding addition to gardens that appreciate its delicate beauty amid tough conditions.
