How to Sow and Plant
Lisianthus may be grown from potted plants
Planting Potted Plants in the Garden:
- Select a location in full sun with good rich moist organic, well-drained soil.
- Prepare the bed by turning the soil under to a depth of 6-12, inches removing any debris, and lightly raking as level as possible.
- The addition of organic matter (leaf mold, compost, well-rotted manure) benefits all gardens and is essential in recently constructed neighborhoods.
- Plant on a cloudy day or in late afternoon to reduce transplant shock.
- Dig a hole for each plant, approximately 6-8 inches apart large enough to amply accommodate the root ball.
- Unpot the plant and gently loosen the root ball with your hands to encourage good root growth.
- Place the top of the root ball even with the level of the surrounding soil. Fill with soil to the top of the root ball. Press soil down firmly with your hand.
- Use the plant tag as a location marker.
- Thoroughly water and apply a light mulch layer on top of the soil (1-2 inches) to conserve water and reduce weeds.
- Keep weeds under control during the growing season. Weeds compete with plants for water, space and nutrients, so control them by either cultivating often or use a mulch to prevent their seeds from germinating.
- Mulches also help retain soil moisture and maintain even soil temperatures. For annuals an organic mulch of shredded leaves lends a natural look to the bed and will improve the soil as it breaks down in time. Always keep mulches off a plant’s stems to prevent possible rot.
- Keep plants well-watered during the growing season, especially during dry spells. Plants need about 1 inch of rain per week during the growing season. Use a rain gauge to check to see if you need to add water. It's best to water with a drip or trickle system that delivers water at low pressure at the soil level. If you water with overhead sprinklers, water early in the day so the foliage has time to dry off before evening, to minimize disease problems. Keep the soil moist but not saturated.
- Until plants become established, some protection from extreme winds and direct, hot sunlight may be necessary. Good air movement is also important.
- After new growth appears, a light fertilizer may be applied. Keep granular fertilizers away from the plant crown and foliage to avoid burn injury. Use low rates of a slow release fertilizer, as higher rates may encourage root rots.
- Remove spent flower spikes to encourage flowering and prevent seed development. Pinching the growing tips of plants can encourage bushiness.
- Monitor for pests and diseases. Check with your local Cooperative Extension Service for pest controls recommended for your area.
- Lisianthus is grown primarily for its stunning, long-lasting cut flowers that look like roses.
- The shorter cultivars are attractive in containers.
- All types may be used in borders or as edgings, as long as they are spaced closely together.
- Plants are resistant to heat and humidity.
- Protect taller varieties from the wind.
- Pinching can encourage bushier growth.

Consistently great EXCEPT in 2017
I buy these plants every year from Burpee or Park (years ago-they no longer carry the plants) and grow then in long raised bed rows for cutting. Every year they have been spectacular except for last year (2017). I agree with other reviewers on this point and do not know what the difference was in the growing phase prior to them being shipped out, because all other growing conditions were the same for me. I am an experienced gardener and tried several different remedies including adjusting the soil ph slightly, as I read that they are sensitive to non-optimal ph. I finally got some blooms but nowhere near the same volume as usual. I was very disappointed as I spend a lot of money on these plants and make a lot of summer wedding bouquets and centerpieces.

Did not perform well... :(
Did not perform as well as expected. Plants did not come with instructions. Looked up planting instructions and took extra care while growing. Have only gotten three (3) blooms from all the plants that I purchased. Very, very disappointed. Will not purchase again. Too costly.

pretty in a vase!
I order this plant every year. They are a bit of a later bloomer-which I love. They require a fair amount of watering and often need staking but the flower is lovely and worth the fussing over.

Flowers are growing great!
I have purchased these before. They are beautiful and easy to grow. I put them in large pots on my deck.

Could just be this growing season....
Have always loved these flowers and grew them a long time ago. These just never took off - stunted, anemic looking. Could be due to the incredible amount of rain we've had this season...

Great disappointment
I purchased these because I thought they would grow in my Florida garden. They arrived very small and grew to about 8 inches tall, one bloom, and then they just leaned over and died. I have great success with Burpee seeds but I will not purchase plants again. Last year I tried to grow LA Dreamin hydrangea from the spindly plants that arrived and they died too. I'm an experienced gardener who follows all the rules. Very disappointed.

Lisianthus, there's nothing like it!
These flowers are a joy and a miracle. As my cousin promised, they grow well. You keep cutting them to fill your vases, and they keep coming back! A great looking flower in the garden and in the home as well.
