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
