Orange & Apricot Lisianthus Seeds: Growing Guide

Q: Is orange lisianthus rare?

Yes — true orange lisianthus is genuinely rare. Megalo Deep Orange and Sabrina 1 Orange are among the few available as pelleted seeds.

August 8, 2026

Orange and apricot lisianthus are among the most distinctive cut flowers you can grow from seed. While white and purple lisianthus dominate the market, warm-toned varieties in rich orange, soft apricot, and peachy blush are increasingly sought after by florists, wedding designers, and farmers market growers. These sun-kissed tones photograph beautifully, pair effortlessly with summer and fall palettes, and carry the same extraordinary 2–3 week vase life that makes lisianthus the darling of the cut flower world.

How to Grow Orange & Apricot Lisianthus from Seed

Step 1: Plan Your Timeline

Lisianthus needs 20–24 weeks from seed to transplant-ready seedling. Start seeds in late fall or early winter for summer blooms.

Step 2: Use Pelleted Seeds

Lisianthus seeds are microscopic. Pelleted seeds are the only practical way to sow them accurately. All of our lisianthus seeds are available in pelleted form.

Step 3: Sow on the Surface

Place one pelleted seed per cell on the surface of moist seed-starting mix — do not cover with soil. Lisianthus needs light to germinate.

Step 4: Maintain Germination Conditions

Keep trays at 75–80°F with consistent moisture. Germination takes 14–21 days.

Step 5: Provide Bright Light

Move seedlings under grow lights immediately. They need 14–16 hours of light per day. Insufficient light is the most common cause of failure.

Step 6: Transplant Carefully

Space plants 6–9 inches apart in full sun with excellent drainage. Avoid overwatering — lisianthus is susceptible to root rot.

Step 7: Harvest at the Right Stage

Cut when 1–3 buds are showing color. Remaining buds open sequentially for 14–21 days of vase life.
