20 Seeds Mix Purple Lisianthus Flowers Seed

Lisianthus is a favorite of gardeners who practice cut flower arrangements, but it is excellent in any bed or border garden. The delicate appearance of lisianthus plants makes them the perfect addition to a cottage garden alongside other English classics like scented stock and delphiniums. It also lends itself well to containers and sometimes even works as a houseplant. If you've successfully grown lisianthus plants that have erupted in blooms come early summer, there's a good chance that you can coax a second act from the plants in the fall. To do so, it's important to prune the plants in a certain manner. Start by cutting the stems of the plant back to the basal rosette of foliage after their initial bloom. Then, give your plants all the pampering they crave, including thorough weeding, regular irrigation, and plenty of fertilizing. By mid-September, you should be harvesting new blooms to pretty up your fall bouquets.
