Originally unfamiliar in western horticulture until ornamental varieties emerged in Japan in the mid-20th century, Lisianthus saw expanded breeding efforts globally, leading to diverse cultivars—including curly and double-flowered types like this purple form. These selections have become staples in modern floral design due to their vase life and color depth.
Climate:Warm or mild weather
GROWING CONDITIONS
Best grown in full sun with well-drained soil and a slightly alkaline pH (6.5–7.5). Avoid overly humid environments and ensure good airflow. Consistent but moderate watering helps keep blooms vibrant.
