- 🌱 *Starting Lisianthus Seeds Guide* 🌸
Welcome to our comprehensive guide on starting Lisianthus seeds! Whether you're a seasoned gardener or just starting out, we've got you covered.
*Reputable Seed Source:* It's crucial to begin with quality seeds. Choose a reputable supplier for your Lisianthus seeds. I purchased mine from Johnny's.
*Bloom Groups 1 to 4:* Lisianthus comes in different bloom groups (1 to 4), each with a different bloom time. Understanding these groups helps tailor your growing approach.
*Pelleted Seeds:* These small coated seeds can be easier to handle and sow.
*Starting Early:* Calculate your last frost date (around May 15 for me) and count back 4 to 6 weeks (around April 15) for planting. Start Lisianthus seeds indoors 5 months before (around January 15).
*Seed Care:* Keep seeds moist, avoid root binding, utilize a heat mat, and humidity dome during germination. 💡The seeds need light to germinate, so make sure they stay on top of the soil and under grow lights.💡 Remove the dome and heat mat once germination occurs but continue to keep moist.
*After Germination:* Once true leaves appear, maintain adequate moisture without overwatering to prevent algae growth. A fan and a sprinkle of cinnamon help in this process.
*Fertilization:* Weekly doses of fish fertilizer will keep your Lisianthus seedlings healthy and thriving.
*Hardening Off Seedlings:* Gradually acclimate your seedlings to outdoor conditions by hardening them off. Ensure they have at least 4 leaves before transplanting. cover for hard frosts with frost cloth.
*Netting Support:* Lisianthus plants benefit from netting support to keep their blooms upright.

Thank you for making this video - there is such a lack of content for people who are gardening in colder climates!
Thank you for your kind words! I totally agree, it is so hard to find good resources up in the north! Will continue sharing my processes and experiences 🥰
I live in southern Wisconsin and started my lisianthus on January 1st. Johnny's seeds are great, but if you want more variety next year, try GEO seeds. They have some of the newest lisianthus such as Solo and Corelli Sugoi, which I am growing. I grew the two varieties that you started last year and loved them. I am growing 14 varieties of lisianthus this year. Another step that I do is by adding fine vermiculite to the soil when I start the seed, which helps with algae growth. It also helps prevent drying out. Happy gardening!
I've been hearing great things about Geo! I'll have to give them a look, thanks for the tip! Great recommendation for the Vermiculite. Last year, I used it but totally spaced it! Take care!
@TayloredAcres I buy my seed starting supplies from Jung seed because I love to support local garden centers. Purple cow seed starter is made locally, and I am trying it this year. Request a catalog from Geo seeds because it is so much easier to see than looking online. Their variety and prices are hard to beat. Shipping is free if you spend $100. You made a good video, and I wish you success!
I buy most of my supplies at Jung Seed too 😍 thank you and have a great season!!
@@TayloredAcres I buy most of my seeds from Geo but Ball does have some varieties that Geo doesn't, such as Megalo and Celeb series.
Great easy to follow instructions! Thanks!
Thank you for the feedback! Take care!
I’m attempting these for the first time this yr. Thank you so much for this video!!
Thank you for the comment, best of luck!!!
Oof! I need to start my seeds!!!
Thanks for sharing can I grow them in containers.
Hello! I think you could grow them in a container, but you will need to stake them for support 🌻
You forgot to mention they need light to germinate. Not all seedlings need that but very important advice
You are totally right! Thank you for bringing it up. I only briefly mentioned putting them under light. I'll add more detail in the description for clarity. Take care!
