EUSTOMA GRANDIFLORUM
PACKETS CONTAIN 10 PELLETED SEEDS
Elevate your floral displays with the sophisticated charm of Lisianthus ‘Celeb 1 Blue Chateau’. This exquisite variety showcases large, fully double blooms with delicate, ruffled petals in a creamy base, subtly enhanced by soft lavender and taupe undertones. Its elegant colour palette and luxurious appearance make it a standout in both garden beds and floral arrangements.
However, in preparing to grow Lisianthus, you should be aware of the unique challenges of this flower. Maturity can take 22 to 30 weeks to develop. Avoid high media temperature of 22°C once seedlings reach plug size as it can induce rosetting, which will cause stunting after the plugs are transplanted.
A perennial in warm climates and an annual in cooler.
- Exceptional vase life
