Hi,
I don't know if this is any help - I haven't sown this particular variety, but I have WS'n various kinds of diathus and they do well.

I've done carnations. They sprout just fine. It's getting their delicate little selves to bloom without being trampled in the garden either by me or the marauding dogs that's been my problem. And while I'm technically zone 7 (I think my zip is the only one in this part of PA that's 7) our weather is really more 6-like, especially this year.

I am zone 5 and I have successfully done Carnations a few times
