This is a reverse Picotee pattern and very unique. A different pattern which is due to the different seasons; less colour as it warms up.

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.
