Overview
Buds are a light green with pink edging. As blooms mature, the light green turns to light pink and the edging deepens into a dark rose color. 2-3" fully-double flowers. We chose the Arena series as a later-flowering group 3 (main season) series that can be planted along with an earlier group 2 series, such as the Mariachi series, for a staggered harvest. When planted at the same time, Arenas start to bloom approximately two weeks after Mariachis. Arenas also offer some outstanding, unique color options such as Apricot, Baby Pink, and Blue Picotee. Group 3, for late spring, summer, and fall harvest. Lisianthus is also known as prairie gentian, Texas bluebell, and showy prairie gentian. Pelleted seeds.
Planting
Start indoors 6-8 weeks before last spring frost, transplant outdoors after frost danger passes
