Pure white blooms emerging on a bushy plant bred specifically for cut flower excellence. Johnny's Selected Seeds emphasizes that lisianthus can be challenging to grow, yet when conditions align, the results are stunning. This variety requires 12 to 13 weeks of greenhouse propagation before transplanting outdoors, a timeline that rewards careful planning with flowers that open in succession over weeks, not days.
Mariachi Pure White excels as a premium cut flower for floral arrangements and bouquets. The succession of blooms from a single stem makes it valuable for florists and home arrangers seeking white flowers with sculptural presence and lasting vase life.

Sow seeds into 288-cell or deeper-cell seedling containers 12 to 13 weeks before your planned transplant date. Provide light for germination and cover seeds with a thin layer of fine vermiculite to suppress algae. Greenhouse production is highly recommended for lisianthus; the controlled environment helps manage the moisture and light demands of this finicky crop.
Harden off transplants gradually over 7 to 10 days before moving them to the garden. Space plants 4 inches apart in beds or containers. Transplant only after frost danger has passed and soil has begun to warm; cold soil stress early in the season can set plants back significantly.
Cut stems when one or more flowers on the stem are open. Harvest in the early morning when stems are fully hydrated. Successive flowers will continue opening on each stem once cut, extending the arrangement's display window.
