Great video! You need to write a book! You're such a great teacher!
Wow, thank you!
Oh my goodness those Lisianthus are absolutely gorgeous. 💜. Give Buffy a cuddle from me. 💖
Will do!
Probably your best video yet! So much info, presented in an easy to understand manner. Brava!
Wow, thank you!
Wow Amanda! This was a really great tutorial. I am amazed that we can grow these gorgeous flowers in Texas! I'm definitely going to try and looking forward to the fall seeding blogs. Thanks!
You are so welcome!
Can we grow asters in 8a zone from seeds? Can you post a video on it please 🙏
Yep! I haven’t grown them in a few years but I can look into it for next year.
My first time with lisianthus. I live in a hot and humid place so I decided to starting it in September. I set up a mini green house using cupcake trays outside and it worked!! They are so tiny but I’m super happy to see them 😊
✌✌👍👍❣❣

Im here in Dallas, can I start with my seed on September? When you transplant outside?
I typically transplant at the beginning of October. If I were you, I would start the seeds in December and plant them out next spring … towards the end of March.
Buffy I hope you are feeling better❤. Love all the lisianthus varieties that you planted. They are going to be gorgeous.
Thanks so much!
Hope you get the right seeds from Eden brothers. I did not.
Did you say if you cover during those few cold nights you get during the winter?
I cover them if my temps get below about 28 degrees.
Hi Amanda! Thanks for a fabulous video. I am also in Texas, but in Houston Zone 9b. I keep my house at 74F during the day and 72F overnight. Currently trying to identify the coolest area of my home to germinate my lisianthus in. Do you think that will work to germinate and then subsequently grow them indoors for ~12 weeks? If not, I can drop my AC further but these hot summers are a huge energy bill suck! Thank you for your thoughts.
How about starting a few of your seeds to see if they will germinate under those conditions? And if they do, then you can start the rest. If they don’t, then you can drop your AC for the rest of them.
Bootstrap farmer trays will last forever. Very strong. I use generic 6 or 4 pack cells, off Amazon, quite cheap but last 4 or 5 seasons. It's the 10/20 flat that needs to be the best quality. No problem carrying them around one handed. Hex trays IMHO are trash.
Yes they contacted me about showing their product. I don’t do sponsorships like that, but I wouldn’t mind buying some myself to try if you think it’s worth it!
Great video. I attempted one tray; it was too hot, and none germinated. I am in the Phoenix area, and this gives me hope. I followed your directions and was able to get about 90% germination. Now I want more. Do you look for any other signs other than a 3-4 month period to transplant them? Do you think they will survive if I plant them in December (plugs I have already ordered)?
I was having difficulty figuring out which group to order, but it sounds that they will grow regardless of the group in the hot climate.
If you aren’t getting to crazy low temps, they should be fine to transplant in December … just be sure to cover them if it gets below freezing!
Hi Amanda, I noticed last year you started your lizzie's in August - or at least that was the date of the video. i'm curious, why'd you start earlier? i'm zone 9 a; reached out to John's Plant Adventures in phoenix; and he stafts early August; wondering the best time for my environment West TX! Thanks 😊
I want them to be larger before planting them out … last year I lost about 30% when I moved them outside, so I’m hoping for bigger more robust root systems by starting earlier.
I found this video to be very informative and helpful! Thank you! I have tried growing lisianthus from seed for the past two years now. The first year was a bust, the second year much better but I still have lots to learn.
Question: I've heard that in the seedling stage, lisianthus can't handle temps above 80° F or they will start to rosette. At what point are they able to handle heat 80 or above? I start the seed in my house under grow lights, but after they are up and growing I would love to move them to my small backyard greenhouse. Will they get too warm in there??
I don’t stress about the rosette because I am not looking for bloom right away and instead will have blooms in a year. However, I don’t typically plant mine out until the end of September and while the temps will still be high, they will cool off each evening.
Thanks for this very informative video 👍this is my first year at seed sowing and like you I just love to arrange the flowers and give to friends and family. You have given me the confidence to give these difficult seeds a try. Just ordered the pellets on line. Not sure how your method will work in N W England but I’m going to give it a try. Looking forward to your update videos 😍. As this has been my first year at seed sowing I must agree that some of the seed sowing sets are very flimsy and split apart when you come to get the seedlings out🙁 I will make sure that my future purchases are more robust 🌺🌸
Hi there! Definitely find a product that works for you!!!
Hmm. I know I’m weird but we keep the air conditioning set on 77. And I usually start seeds in my house. So do you think they won’t come up because it’s too warm?
It most probably will work but might take longer for yours to germinate.
I’m growing in the UK and manage to get germination but they grow so slow. They were sown 6 months ago and still too small to plant out. Are they suitable for overwintering in a heated greenhouse ? Great video
Hi there! Are you fertilizing them? Do they get at least 14 hours under grow lights each day? Mine overwinter outside in freezing temps, but I do cover them when it gets anywhere close to 25 degrees. I would think a greenhouse would be fine unless your temps get super cold.
I’m gonna give this planting a try… seeds are expensive but better than a potted plant. Need to find the best 2 types to try (matching my Texas native garden) perhaps the Echo White & another. 😊
I suggest voyage … I’ve had a lot of luck with the Voyage series.
Thank you, I was thinking I could plant in late summer then overwinter, I’m in a hot climate as you are. I have the winter seeding on heat mats going on at the moment, here in Australia, but next year I’ll try your plan.
Awesome! Hope it works for you!
Lights. Do you go full brightness from seed till they go outside? My grow light can change its brightness and I’m not sure how bright it should be.
Mine don’t have setting but I would go full on.
Good morning. I have seen garden answer use these types of starters multiple times. She seems to be able to up seed her plants and then reuse the starters again. So I think you will be able to use it lots of times. If I had the space I would do the lisianthus for growing. Enjoy your time in Alaska.
I hope I can reuse them!!!
Thanks for sharing this. I tried this year to grow some and failed. I knew they were tricky so I'm gonna try again. I did buy some black and orange pansie for fall and need to start those'd next week. Have you started those before and a good trick?
I have started them and will be starting again next week. Here’s my video from last year ua-cam.com/video/rCzwFvcXYPw/v-deo.htmlsi=6R1D1aPCjcXH4ev9
❤❤❤❤❤❤i might try to grow the deep rose and voyage champagne
I can’t wait to see them in person!
Those flowers are beautiful. I would not seed them, I would just buy them.
They are expensive stems in florist world!
Definitely saving this video. Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
First I have to say I love your shirt!! I am so happy for this video. Great details in your instructions. I have my seeds but don’t think they are pelleted so I’m hoping there isn’t a special way they need to touch the soil. I will be starting mine this weekend waiting for a plant stand to arrive that I ordered just for them. 👏👏I’m so excited to be growing with you. ❤
No special way if they aren’t pelleted … they will just be super tiny and look like specs of dirt!
@@shesamadgardener oh boy that’s going to be a challenge. ☺️Thank you for letting me know as I have not yet opened them.
Sending love and prayers to Buffy ❤ beautiful flowers really wished you lived closer so we could garden together and I could let you grow for me lol, as I am not great at starting seeds!
Same❤️
I agree. Lisianthus are absolutely beautiful. I’m amazed on how much time goes into producing the beautiful plants from start to the finished product.
I totally agree!
Very interesting ⚾️

❤ another great information video. Thank you!!! I can’t wait to try your method of growing Lisianthus. I grew mine (first time ever growing Lisianthus from seed) in soil blocks this past year and although I had fantastic results…the soil blocks were yucky from algae by the time they were ready to pot up. I didn’t want to touch them & I’m a gardener who loves having their hands in dirt. lol
Wonderful! I used to do soil blocks as well but it hurts my hands to use it!
Eeeeeeeekkkkkkk..... I'm so excited for this video. Commenting before watching this! I so so wanted to learn this from you in particular ❤❤❤❤ thank you
You are so welcome!
Yaayyy!!! This is what I was waiting for! Great video! I will start them this weekend 🎉 Thank You for the detailed information
You are so welcome!
Hi Amanda, I found some 6 pks of Lisianthus this spring and planted them right away. It's been 5 wks in the ground but they really haven't grown much at all. I had heard they were slow to germinate but didn't realize the entire growing process was so slow, Thanks for this informative video, you are a good teacher.
They are slow growing as well as slow germination!
I'm excited about these flowers. Going to my garden center again to see if they still have them BOGO!
Awesome!
Wonderful information. Hope your vacation was all you hoped it would be!
Yes! Thank you!
I wish I had a whole field of Lisianthus! Buffy is so cute! Lots of prayers for her. ❤
SAME!!! I love these blooms so much!
❤ beautiful flowers! Never knew about them before.
Thanks! They are lovely blooms!
Hi Amanda.I love today's video also 😊😊😊😊
Yay! Thank you!
I will be trying these for the first time. Love all the info
Glad you like them!
