Cut Flower Lisianthus Seedling Pack

Eustoma grandiflorum 

Cut Flower Lisianthus seedlings, grown in Marlborough by Gray Floral, shipping NZ wide.

Lisianthus - one of the true 'florist flowers' with an incredible vase life and the most beautiful rose like ruffled flower form. These flowers are a test in patience if you are growing from seed, taking 9 months from seed to flowering! 

We have grown these to the stage they are ready for the ground,  and have timed them so that you should hopefullly be harvesting flowers for Mother's Day. 

All our seedlings are grown in a mix which contains Trichoderma to assist in healthy root development and resistance to root pathogens, and this is especially important with Lisianthus as they are prone to root disease and 'sudden death syndrome'. 

We recommend doing a seedling soak in a weak seaweed bath before planting out. Make sure to keep them well watered while they settle in, but after you see fresh growth happening they do prefer to be kept on the dry side. 

You can plant lisianthus fairly tight, and you will want to support them for lovely straight stems. If you want to try pinching your plants, ensure you leave at least 3 sets of leaves. 

Pack of 6 Lisianthus Plants, standard NZ shipping included. If you are rural, please select the rural option at checkout to avoid delays in processing your order. 

Thank you to our friend & the Lisi Queen, Lorien at State of Bloom her beautiful photos of her expertly grown Lisianthus. You can order bunches of her stunning Lisi's via her website www.stateofbloom.co.nz

All our seedlings are grown in a custom cut flower mix which contains Trichoderma to assist in healthy root development and resistance to root pathogens. To give your seedlings the best start in your garden we recommend soaking them in a weak seaweed feed (or one of our "Seedling Shots" before planting. 

We are proud to be partnering with Sustaina Grow to package our seedlings in a wool outer that maintains moisture and protects the seedlings in transit. This wool liner makes a wonderful mulch mat that can be used with your seedlings or around any plant in your garden. Everything apart from labels (which we hope you'll use in the garden and time and time again) and stickers are compostable, in an effort to keep our shipping sustainable for the environment.
