Lisianthus Corelli® II Pink Seeds, 10 Seeds, Pelleted, F1, Prairie gentian, Texas bluebell, showy prairie gentian, Pelleted seeds

Lisianthus Corelli II Pink - The new soft pink ruffled lisianthus features 2 1/2–4" fully double, lightly ruffled flowers with green centers, offering a softer look compared to the darker-centered varieties. This variety belongs to Group 2 for early spring to summer harvest and showcases a slightly pinker hue than the Corelli™ III Light Pink, which is known for its very pale petals and dark center. Commonly known as prairie gentian, Texas bluebell, or showy prairie gentian, this lisianthus comes as conventional pelleted seeds that are not NOP-compliant.

31-39"; Selected for its high quality and fully double flowers on strong and sturdy stems. Colors are classified into 4 groups depending on flower earliness. Professional cut flower, good for outdoor or greenhouse production.

DAYS TO GERMINATION:
10-15 days at 70-75°F (21-24°C).

SOWING:
Transplant: Greenhouse production is highly recommended. Sow 12-13 weeks in deep cell packs before last frost. Light is needed for germination, but a fine layer of vermiculite covering the seed will help control algae growth. Keep the soil evenly moist, but not saturated and maintain 70-75°F (21-24°C) soil temperature. Provide good air circulation until emergence. Reduce moisture levels once emergence has occurred and allow to dry out slightly between waterings to prevent algae growth. After emergence, reduce the temperature to 60-70°F (16-21°C). Avoid stressing the plants with high temperatures over 85°C (29°C) and overwatering during this stage to prevent rosetting (the resting stage). Early transplanting is recommended. Transplant no later than the fourth leaf stage, approximately 55-60 days. Direct seeding is not recommended.
