100pcs Lisianthus Seeds Mixed Color Double Petal, Thornless Roses Plants, Cut Flower Seeds for Home Garden Patio Container Planting

Product Description
Lisianthus is prized by florists and gardeners for its sophisticated, rose-like flowers and exceptionally long vase life. Each plant produces multiple upright stems bearing elegant, layered blooms that open progressively, providing weeks of continuous color. With sturdy stems reaching 12-24 inches tall, lisianthus is ideal for cut flower gardens, borders, and containers. Growing from seed requires patience, but the reward is abundant, long-lasting blooms that rival any florist flower.
Planting Time: Start seeds indoors 12-14 weeks before the last spring frost date. Lisianthus requires a long growing season.
Soil: Use fine-textured, well-draining seed-starting mix. pH 6.0-6.5 is ideal.
Container: Use shallow trays or small pots with drainage holes. Seeds need light to germinate.
Sowing Depth: Sow seeds on soil surface and press gently. Do not cover with soil, as light is required for germination.
Spacing: Scatter seeds thinly over soil surface. Do not crowd, as seedlings are prone to damping-off disease.
Watering: Mist soil gently to keep consistently moist but not waterlogged. Use a spray bottle to avoid disturbing seeds.
Humidity: Cover trays with clear plastic wrap or humidity dome to retain moisture until germination.
Germination: Seeds typically germinate in 10-20 days at temperatures of 70-75°F (21-24°C).
Light Requirements: Provide bright, indirect light during germination. After sprouting, move to full sun or under grow lights (14-16 hours daily).
Temperature for Seedlings: Maintain 60-70°F (15-21°C). Cooler temperatures slow growth.
Transplanting – First Stage: When seedlings have 2-3 true leaves (8-10 weeks from sowing), transplant carefully into individual small pots (2-3 inches).
Hardening Off: Gradually acclimate seedlings to outdoor conditions over 7-10 days before final planting.
Outdoor Planting: Plant in final location after all frost danger has passed. Space plants 6-12 inches apart.
Location: Choose full sun (at least 6 hours daily). Afternoon shade benefits hot summer climates.
Soil for Garden: Use well-draining, fertile soil with pH 6.0-6.5. Amend with compost before planting.
Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water at the base to keep foliage dry and prevent disease.
Fertilizing: Apply balanced, water-soluble fertilizer (half strength) every 2-3 weeks during growing season.
Bloom Time: Plants typically flower 4-5 months from seed, with blooms appearing mid-summer to early fall.
Support: Taller varieties may need staking in windy locations.
Deadheading: Remove spent flowers to encourage continued blooming.
Winter Care: Grown as annuals in most climates. Not frost-hardy.
