Celeb is a flagship new breeding. Flowers are huge with strong, wavy, ruffled petals, with very full flowers. Double flowers. Strong stems are a feature, holding the flower upright. Its beautiful fringed petals give it an extra dimension.

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.
