Summer Dreaming: Lisianthus in 2017

{Arena Apricot}

Many people ask me: “what do you do in the winter?”

I scour the internet and catalogs for the new best cut flowers! Research, planning and ordering plant product for the following season takes many hours.

There are always new breeds to look at to decide what we will grow. Lisianthus is a widely-bred flower.  And there are many new varieties to consider growing.

These are amazing flowers that I purchase as plugs to plant into the field and greenhouse. They are very tedious to grow from seed, so I pay experienced professionals to do that step for me. I can focus on the growing of other seeds while providing the plants optimal conditions to grow and bloom.

Lisianthus are extremely root sensitive, so we have to take care in the way we water, weed and feed.  They are one of the more demanding flowers I grow. But they are worth it. They have a long vase life of 2 weeks or more and  customers love their feminine fragility.

This season I have taken a leap of faith and will be growing new varieties. So I hope all of my customers  will give me your imput: love it? dislike?  don’t care?  I am growing these for you! So share  your experiences, it’s very important!
