Growing Tips for Your Lisianthus Echo Lavender Seeds:

Transplanting is highly recommended. Sow pelleted seeds (if applicable) into 288-cell or deep-cell seedling containers approximately 10-12 weeks before the intended planting-out time. Greenhouse production is often preferred for optimal quality.

Light is necessary for germination, so sow seeds on the surface of a well-draining seed-starting mix and do not cover them. Maintain a soil temperature of 70-75°F (21-24°C) for the 10–15-day germination period.

Transplant seedlings into the garden after the danger of frost has passed, spacing them 6-9 inches apart in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly, especially during dry periods.

Harvest when the first few flowers on a stem begin to open.
