Good Qualities

Excellent color (6); Delicate appearance; All varieties performed about the same – ‘Balboa Purple’ was accepted the best; and also the ‘Purple’ bloomed the longest in the field; Size of flowers was most impressive with good bud count per stem; Looks like rose with no thorns, last 10 day + in vase; Long flowering period; Excellent germination (90% plus, in less than 10 days), more durable than most lisianthus; Seed was just a little late for us to get great results; The first bloom on these were short (10;) but the next bloom was better; Great vase life; Color looks “brushed on”, very beautiful; Tall, my favorite of all in trial this year.

Problems

None (2); ‘Balboa Purple’ performed best of all; Customers love purple first, ‘Blue Rim’ next, and ‘Blue Bush’ last; None; Slow, slow; How do you know or How can you tell when plant needs water.

Comments

Really took off when end of summer came; along with cooler temperatures (zone 6B); Similar to ‘Echo’; This is one of my favorite lisianthus cultivars; The Balboa series is really great; Better than average field performance for lisianthus.
