Lisianthus is one of my favorite flowers to use in
arrangements. I just love their longevity in the arrangements!
Botanical
Name: Eustoma (yoo-stoh-ma)
The Common names
of Lisianthus are Prairie Gentian, Texas bluebell, Tulip gentian,
Bluebells and Lira de San Pedro.
The name Lisianthus comes from the Greek words lysis,
meaning dissolution and anthos,
meaning flower.
Lisianthus also symbolize appreciation.
They are kind of fussy to grow and I do lose a few each
year, but I really love them!

I tried growing them from seeds but had no luck. I will give that another try. This year I purchased a couple of them from the local Lowe's. This year was the first time I've seen them sold in local nurseries but I never looked for them before. They are so beautiful. I love the pink one. Mine were blue.
How beautiful Bonnie. I have never grown any but I just love their blooms. I may have to change that.LOL! Have a wonderful weekend.
I discovered lisianthuses a few years ago, at my favorite owner run nursery. I love them! Since I was gardening on the cheap this year, I didn't get any, but I did have one survive our mild winter in the ground, and is currently blooming.
They are beautiful, I'm going to have to keep my eye out for these at the nursery.
I have Lisianthus for the first time this year. And I have loved it. My sister started plants in her little greenhouse and gave me 8 of the plants. I have white, purple and pink. I first heard about Lisianthus on Marsha's Garden blog when she said she couldn't have a garden without them, now I feel the same way. Yours are gorgeous, love the different colors.
