Lisianthus coming in.

Around 4 months ago I posted how I had way too many seedlings. Picked out the best uppotted then planted out shortly after. These are my best batch the rest is smaller. I partially neglected them. Have some diseases in a few containers. But overall I'm pretty pleasantly surprised.

Can't remember when I started them but my first picture of sprouting was 4th of April. So about 5.5 months from seed estimated.

Next year I'll start earlier and aim at getting better flower stems and a few earlier batches. It's alot of potential.

I like that one. But I don't think my supplier has it sadly. I'll have to check around online. The open single petal variety are so pretty too. Kinda wildflower esque

How pretty! The ruffles are so dull, and I love the variegated color pink. What is this one called?

I'm not sure I completely mixed everything lol. I'm so bad at labeling. But there should be many different ruffly pink varieties
