Lisianthus is one of my favorite flowers. Growing it is truly a labor of love. Many flower farmers start lisianthus plants from plugs in early spring, and I am no exception. However, every year I like to challenge myself and grow a crop that I start from seed. The white frilly variety has just a hint of blush and is called "First Love". It is this year's grown-from-seed crop. I started these seeds in January! Now August, I am finally starting to harvest them along with the other varieties I grow. The pink/apricot flowers pictured are Corelli Apricot, another beautiful variety. Next season I will be starting "Terracotta' from seed.
