How to Grow Lisianthus Echo Purple

Lisianthus is a warm-season annual that prefers a longer growing window, making early starts a must. Here are the keys to success:

  1. Start Indoors: Begin seeds indoors 10–12 weeks before your last frost date. Use pelleted seeds for easy handling and sow on the surface—lisianthus needs light to germinate.

  2. Provide Light & Warmth: Keep temps around 70°F and provide bright indirect light. Germination can take 10–15 days.

  3. Transplant After Frost: Once danger of frost has passed, plant into well-drained soil in full sun.

  4. Space Properly: Space plants 6–8 inches apart to ensure airflow and tall, straight stems.

  5. Support & Feed: Consider using netting or light support, and feed regularly with balanced fertilizer to promote strong flowering.

With consistent care, you’ll enjoy bold, colorful blooms from midsummer through fall.
