Best Practices for Growing Lisianthus from Seed
While lisianthus is known for being a bit more challenging to start from seed than other annuals, it rewards patient growers with premium flowers that demand high prices at market.
Tips for Success:
-
Start indoors 10–12 weeks before last frost
-
Use a sterile, well-draining seed-starting mix
-
Keep humidity high and temperature between 70–75°F for germination
-
Do not cover seeds – lisianthus requires light to germinate
-
Transplant after danger of frost, spacing 6–8” apart
A well-timed lisianthus crop can bloom for weeks, with multiple flushes of flowers per plant if cut properly. Stake or support taller stems to prevent bending, especially in windy or wet conditions.

Floral designers looking for on-trend rose tones
