Growing Tips for Your Lisianthus Mariachi Blue F1 Pelleted Seeds (Experienced Growers Recommended):

Sow pelleted seeds in peat pots or cell packs, gently press into the soil but do not cover. This variety needs light to germinate!

Maintain a temperature of 60-68°F (15-20°C) for germination, which typically occurs in 7-14 days.

Crucially, maintain cool nighttime temperatures (55-59°F) and warmer daytime temperatures (72-80°F) for the 8-10 week grow-on period before transplanting to prevent rosetting and ensure proper blooming.

Transplant seedlings into the garden after the danger of frost has passed, spacing them appropriately. Choose a location with well-drained soil and adequate sunlight. Water regularly, being careful not to over or underwater.

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