LisAdora Apricot III (Eustoma grandiflorum) is a standout lisianthus with a soft apricot hue and a deep maroon centre that creates striking contrast. Its medium-sized double blooms (2½–3½") are densely petaled and rose-like in shape, making it a favourite for wedding work and high-end bouquets. As the blooms mature, the petals gracefully curl back, enhancing its garden rose appearance.

This Group 3 variety is well-suited for late spring through fall harvests. Grows well in beds or tunnels with support. Also known as prairie gentian, Texas bluebell, or showy prairie gentian, lisianthus is long-lasting in the vase and loved by florists. This is conventionally pelleted seed (not NOP-compliant). With care and time, lisianthus will reward you with elegant, long-lasting blooms ideal for cutting.

HOW TO GROW:
Lisianthus is best started indoors (recommended) and is known for being a challenging but rewarding flower to grow from seed. Begin sowing 12–13 weeks before your last frost date into 288-cell trays or other deep-cell seedling containers to support its long taproot. Greenhouse or controlled indoor conditions are strongly recommended, as lisianthus requires consistent warmth, humidity, and light to germinate successfully. Seeds need light to germinate, so do not cover them with soil—instead, a very thin layer of fine vermiculite can be applied to help retain moisture and suppress algae. Germination can be slow and erratic, often taking 10–20 days or longer. Maintain bottom heat and high humidity, and be patient—lisianthus seedlings are slow-growing at first. Transplant outdoors after danger of frost has passed, into full sun and well-drained soil.
