About this item
Product details
Lisianthus (Eustoma spp.) are tender perennials or biennials often grown as annuals. Also known as the native plant 'Prairie Gentian', they return yearly, from northern Mexico to Colorado and Nebraska. They grow about 1 to 3 feet tall, featuring bell-shaped flowers with flaring lobes that bloom on one or more upright stems. Lisianthus is in great demand for bridal bouquets and other special-occasion arrangements.Lisanthus can be somewhat finicky to grow and care for but are worth the effort. They look good in mixed containers and borders and make long lasting cut flowers.Plant nursery grown lisianthus seedlings as annuals for best flowering in zones 7 and lower. Plant in organically rich soil with a neutral pH. Provide 6 to 8 hours of sun daily, and warm, dry conditions. Feed regularly with high phosphorous fertilizer. Deadhead consistently for repeat blooms. Lisianthus is the birth flower of Sagittarius (end of November to end of December). These flowers are often called lizzies Lisianthus are often mistaken for roses or peonies. Plant lisianthus in full sun, where it receives six to eight hours a day. In areas with very hot summers, a little afternoon shade won't hurt but consistent light exposure is key for best flowers and foliage. Lisianthus flowers need a balanced soil pH between 6.5 and 7.0. Soil too acidic or alkaline causes yellowing foliage, less vigor, and fewer blooms. Provide about 1 inch of water per week to keep plants moist but not soggy allowing soil to dry out slightly in between. Overwatering leads to fungal diseases. Timing can be a challenge which makes drip irrigation a preferred method for establishing a consistent watering schedule. Lisianthus is a heat-loving native plant in areas with dry days and warm summer nights. They tolerate heat and mild drought but suffer in areas with high humidity. These plants thrive in temperatures between 60°F and 75°F. and may survive temperatures as low as 28°F. when planted in the ground. Considered hardy only in zones 8 and higher, they are most often grown as annuals in lower zones. Proper pruning of summer bloomers can yield a second flush of flowers in autumn. Start by cutting stems back to the basal rosette after initial bloom. Then pamper plants with regular irrigation and fertilizer and keep them free of weeds. Look for a second flowering around mid-September.
