Lisianthus <\/strong> Grandiflorum Alissa II Light Apricot Seeds<\/h2>\n

(F1 Lisianthus \u2014 Group 2 Soft Creamy Apricot Double)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Alissa II Light Apricot is the warm, peachy complement within the Alissa color range<\/strong> \u2014 where Alissa II Champagne delivers cool luminous ivory and Alissa 1 Blue offers rich blue-violet, Light Apricot brings warmth and softness in an entirely different register. The blooms showcase large<\/strong>, fully double flowers<\/strong> in exquisite shades of creamy apricot to soft golds and ivory<\/strong> \u2014 with pastel tones that blend in beautifully with more vibrant colors in the garden and arrangement alike.
\nAlissa II Light Apricot is a tall peach cut flower with multiple bell-shaped flowers<\/strong> per stem, approximately 70 cm<\/strong> in length with 5 or more buds per stem \u2014 very popular for wedding flowers and flower arrangements.<\/p>\n

The light apricot color occupies a uniquely versatile position in the lisianthus spectrum. It is softer and warmer than champagne, yet less assertive than a saturated orange or coral \u2014 sitting precisely in that sought-after zone of pastel warmth that photography equipment renders as glowing, that natural light makes luminous, and that complements both cool tones (whites, blues, lavenders) and warm tones (peach, coral, dusty rose, terracotta) with equal harmony. This makes Light Apricot one of the most commercially flexible lisianthus colors for florists who need a single variety that works across multiple arrangement styles.<\/p>\n

The Alissa II Light Apricot has large, fringed flowers with hard petals and a special bud shape \u2014 the hard petal structure, characteristic of the Alissa series, provides good transport durability and longevity in the vase. The special bud shape referenced by Van Egmond Lisianthus reflects the characteristic tightly furled, pointed bud of the Alissa series, which opens gradually to reveal the full abundance of the lightly fringed double flower \u2014 a process that florists and consumers find deeply satisfying to watch.<\/p>\n
