  • Overview

    2 1/2-3 1/2" wide medium-sized double blooms are more rose-like than many varieties and almost resemble garden roses. As buds mature, petals curl outward on open blooms, enhancing the rose-like appearance. Flower color is pale apricot with a deep maroon/burgundy center. Group 3 for late spring, summer, and fall harvest. Lisianthus is also known as prairie gentian, Texas bluebell, and showy prairie gentian. Pelleted seeds.
