With romantic, rose-like layers and multiple blooms per stem, they offer exceptional vase life and surprising durability despite their delicate appearance. Blooms even hold up out of water, making them excellent for wearables. The key to growing lisianthus from seed is to start them early and be patient, as they are very slow to grow. They prefer a cool start and a warm finish. Slow at first, but once established, they are incredibly tough plants. Pelleted seeds for easier sowing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"637\" data-start=\"130\"\u003eUnless you're purchasing to overwinter, you'll want to start these \u003cstrong\u003eright away\u003c\/strong\u003e.

Surface sow as light is needed for germination, but a fine dusting of vermiculite helps with moisture. Using a biological fungicide like RootShield or Actinovate at planting can help protect against pathogens. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ePersonally, I like to use a fairly wet germination mix, then I spread vermiculite mixed with Actinovate\/Cinnamon over the top, then sow my seeds. During germination, keep temperatures between 68–72\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e°F and do NOT allow soil to dry out. Because the seed is coated, I generally spritz each cell liberally until germination to dissolve the coating. After germination, grow seedlings on at 60–68\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e°F. Avoid high temperatures and inconsistent moisture to minimize rosetting. Do not pinch.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor years, we have grown lisianthus from both plugs and seeds.
