Lisianthus Cutflower

Lisianthus (Eustoma grandiflorum) is a popular, rose-like cut flower known for its elegant blooms, wide color range (blues, purples, pinks, whites, bi-colors), and excellent vase life, making it a top choice for bridal bouquets and arrangements, especially as a substitute for roses in hot climates. Grown as a short-lived perennial treated as an annual, it requires well-drained soil, bright indirect light, and careful watering, with pinching producing more stems but shorter lengths. Proper harvesting with a diagonal cut using a knife and using holding solutions extend its longevity, making it a valuable addition to the floral industry.
