Why Choose Lisianthus Croma Blue Picotee?
The Croma Series of Lisianthus is known for its uniform flowering, strong stems, and excellent vase life—traits that make it a favorite among professional growers and home gardeners alike. The Blue Picotee variety features creamy white petals with vibrant blue edges, creating a beautiful contrast that’s both romantic and modern.
If you’re looking for flowers that exude grace and drama without being overpowering, this is the perfect pick.
Growing Lisianthus from Seed
While Lisianthus can be a bit slow to germinate, starting them from pelleted seeds makes the process easier. It’s best to sow them indoors about 10–12 weeks before your last frost date. Use a seed-starting mix and provide bottom warmth (70–75°F) for optimal germination. Be patient—germination can take 10–15 days.
Once seedlings develop 2–3 sets of true leaves, you can transplant them into larger pots or directly into your garden once all risk of frost has passed. Lisianthus prefers full sun, well-drained soil, and even moisture. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
Perfect for Cut Flower Gardens
Lisianthus Croma Blue Picotee produces multiple blooms per stem, and the long, sturdy stems are ideal for cutting. Whether you’re creating bridal bouquets, centerpieces, or just want a little indoor beauty, these flowers offer exceptional vase life—up to two weeks when cut at the right stage.
For best results, harvest when the first buds just begin to open. Keep them cool, remove any foliage below the waterline, and change the water regularly.
