Comments
Surprised the guys who started them in the greenhouse by blooming 5 months after the seed was planted, they are accustomed to planting in late fall to get summer blooms, I think the plant suffered from the hot, dry weather, and would have been much more productive if growing conditions had been more satisfactory; This was not my best year with lisianthus generally, none of these cultivars really did anything outstanding for me.
