Lisianthus is a delicate looking, multi-bloom flower with deep green leaves and stems. "Lizzie" has a 10+ day vase life and is available in pretty pastel colors. This versatile, medium form flower works to your advantage in both small and large scale arrangements: it's florets are often used in corsages, and it's open branched silhouette complements almost any design. Lisianthus also stands on its own perfectly in bouquets and small table centerpieces.
Tips from our floral experts
Lisianthus are top heavy, so use a tall container to provide them with extra support. Cut stems and hydrate flowers in cool water. Place in a cooler to slow down the blooming process, if desired. Keep away from heat and drafts, and change the water every 2 days. Remove any foliage that will be submerged before placing the flowers into an arrangement.
