Lisianthus is slow growing from seed, so buying a plant gives you a head start.

Care

Plant 10 to 20 cm (4 to 8 in) apart in full sun, in well-drained soil with plenty of compost. The stems grow 30 to 86 cm (12 to 34 in) long. It flowers late in the season. It benefits from support. If you're growing a lot of plants, Hortonova netting works best, laid 30 to 46 cm (12 to 18 in) above the bed.
