Lisianthus
A premium cut flower, well loved for their rose-like appearance. I’d argue they’re even better than roses with their rich colour selections and extra petal ruffles!
Notoriously difficult to start from seed and take 8-9 months to flower from seed. Luckily I’ve mastered this skill and am happy to share some of my well-loved seedlings with you for your own garden.
