| Description: Delicate cup shaped, multi-petaled
blossoms. Opening into a rose-like bloom. Five or more blooms to the stem. |
| Colors: White, Lavender, Purple, Pink and
bi-colors. |
| Botanical Facts: Lisianthus is native to the
prairies of North America. |
| Design Notes: These beautiful blossoms are good in
mixed arrangements. While arranging, be aware that the blossom heads are very heavy
on slender stems, and design so that the heads will remain upright. Lisanthus
blossoms last well and are excellent for corsage work. |
| Purchasing Hints: Purchase stems with at
least three blossoms. One blossom on the stem should be 3/4 open with other mature
buds showing color. Look for and avoid stems with bruising on the petals. |
| Conditioning: Remove all foliage that will be
below the water line. Cut under water with a sharp knife. Hydrate in a solution of
warm water and commercial floral preservative / floral food for two hours before storage
or usage. |
