Growing Tips for Your Lisianthus Rosanne 3 Brown F1 Pelleted Seeds:

Transplanting is highly recommended. Sow pelleted seeds into 288-cell or deep-cell seedling containers approximately 12-13 weeks before the intended planting-out time. Greenhouse production is often preferred for optimal quality.

Light is necessary for germination, maintain a soil temperature of 68-72°F (20-22°C) for the 10–15-day germination period. Plant in well-drained soil rich in organic matter in a sunny location (partial shade in hot climates may be beneficial), spacing plants 4-8 inches apart. Ensure good ventilation.

Harvest when at least one flower on a stem is open. For optimal vase life, store cut stems at 36-41°F (2-5°C).
