  • Overview

    Extremely uniform, tall, vigorous plants produce 2-3" wide medium-sized double blooms which have a more rose-like shape than many other varieties, almost resembling garden roses. As buds mature, petals curl outward on open blooms, enhancing the rose-like appearance. Flower color is pale creamy yellow. Group 3 for late spring, summer, and fall harvest. Lisianthus is also known as prairie gentian, Texas bluebell, and showy prairie gentian. Pelleted seeds.
