Good Qualities
Excellent vase life, 2-3 weeks in some cases (2); This is the best color as far as sales went. The color is wonderful; Side blooms and shape are nice. Customers always like lisi; Pretty, bright white or clear blue color.

Tough to keep moist enough in field; Stem length is too short to compete with California product.
Comments
This was my favorite lisianthus; Good germination.
