Sow into 288-cell or deeper seedling containers 12-13 weeks before your intended transplant date. Light is required for germination, but cover seeds with a thin layer of fine vermiculite to control algae growth. Greenhouse production is highly recommended due to lisianthus's sensitivity to growing conditions. Maintain consistent moisture and bright light throughout the seedling stage.
Transplant seedlings into garden beds or containers after 12-13 weeks of indoor growth, spacing plants 4 inches apart. Harden off seedlings gradually before moving them to their final growing location. Plant in well-draining soil.
Cut stems when one or more flowers on the stem are open. Remove lower foliage from cut stems and place immediately in clean water for longest vase life.
