Lissies are for sure the slowest flowers to grow! I've sown them in February last year. Just a few for fun. They grew steady but slow. I had flowers in July and decided to try harvesting seeds from them. Two weeks ago, the seeds still weren't ripe. So I cut the stems, entered them into my home and dried the pods. I just harvested the seeds! They look well, but They are the tiniest of seeds and there were thousands of them in each pod 🤩. I'm going to sow them this week, hope they are fertile. If not: it was a fun experiment 😆

zone 7..I started mine in Oct/Nov in jugs and left them alone and they're doing wonderfully. The ones I started indoors got moldy because my soil was too wet and the room was too warm. I know jugs aren't feasible for someone growing on a large scale like you are, but for home gardeners, try the winter sowing method in jugs.

What am I doing wrong? I sowed my lisianthus seeds the day I received them, April 23rd and I still haven’t seen any signs of germination. They’re on a heat mat and they haven’t dried out, I spray the top. I did lightly cover them with vermiculite. My package said they take 7-15 days to germinate, and germation guaranteed 50% or higher. Yours are doing so well! I’m not giving up. Next year I’ll start earlier and I’ll order from Johnnies .
