Lisianthus

Eustoma, often known as prairie gentian or lisianthus, is a popular plant whose abundant flowers strongly resemble roses. Unlike roses, however, it has no thorns and stays fresh for a truly long time after cutting. It is a sought-after flower for summer bouquets because it looks delicate and romantic. Growing it requires a bit more patience, as it can take quite a long time—sometimes even half a year—from seed to the first bloom. The seedlings grow very slowly at first and need a stable environment. If you are planning to grow Eustoma, it will certainly help to read up on how to sow correctly to ensure they get the best start possible. Once Eustoma is established in the flower bed and begins to form buds, all the effort pays off. For us, these flowers are a great joy during every summer harvest. They thrive best in a bright spot protected from heavy rain and strong winds, which could break their fragile stems.
