CARE & MAINTENANCE
Lisianthus (Eustoma Grandiflorum Sapphire Mix) - This variety of Lisianthus is one of the best performing and easiest to grow from flower seed in your home garden. The Sapphire seed mix produces neatly mounded plants that are prolific bloomers! They make the perfect edging plant for the garden or grow them in pots. They will out perform the rest of the garden. These Lisianthus flowers are in shades of pink and blue, and they make wonderful cut flowers.
Sow Lisianthus seeds indoors in late winter. These annuals take 4 - 5 months before they begin to bloom. Use starter trays and quality, sterile potting mix. Sow the flower seeds on top of the soil, press in but do not cover seed. Keep the seeds moist until germination. Covering with plastic wrap can help keep humidity high. Once 4 - 5 leaves have developed, transplant the seedlings into the garden 6 - 8 inches apart. Lisianthus care includes regular waterings but do not over water. Use a liquid balanced fertilizer regularly. The lovely blooms will attract bees as well. Morning sun and afternoon shade is ideal for growing Lisianthus plants in the garden.
