Lisianthus 'Voyage 2 First Love'

Voyage 2 First Love (Eustoma grandiflorum)

A tender whisper between white and blush, Voyage 2 First Love opens in lavish ruffles that seem kissed by dawn. Each 2½–4″ bloom is fully double, its ivory petals delicately edged with the faintest wash of pink—like a secret shared in colour. The petals fold and ripple in soft abundance, giving every stem a sense of movement and grace.

With its romantic palette and sumptuous texture, First Love is as versatile as it is breathtaking. In arrangements, pair it with Linen Zinnia for a refined neutral harmony, or with Baby Pink Lisianthus for a layered, rosy duet. A flower that captures the gentlest side of love—pure, soft, and infinitely elegant.

This is a Group 2 variety, suited for early to mid-season harvests. Start indoors and transplant after the last frost for a reliable flush of blooms throughout the summer. Also known as prairie gentian, Texas bluebell, or showy prairie gentian. Pelleted conventional 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.
