Lisianthus “The Blue Rose”®

The 3-3 1/2″ rose-like flowers of this amazing plant are a real traffic stopper. The intensity of the flower color softens as the blooms mature, creating a most beautiful display in the garden or vase. The species of this hardy and versatile plant is native to the American Southwest. It is as at home in the garden as it is in containers. Plants grow up to 36″ tall and should be grown in a loose, well-drained soil in full sun. Lisianthus tend to be narrow, upright plants and can be spaced 7-10″ apart. They look best planted in groups. This annual may act like a perennial in warmer climates.
