Lisianthus
Has anyone here grown Lisianthus outside, as opposed to in a greenhouse
or conservatory? We never have - we don't grow it at all - and I always think of it as a florist's flower. I'm wondering how its quite delicate flowers would stand up to wind and rain? -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com Shrubs & perennials. Tender & exotics. South Devon |

I'd love some in the garden but am not convinced they'd be tough enough to take it! -- Sacha |

I see that it says that while they have been grown without netting, it's not advisable as summer rain will flatten them. Obviously this is production on a large scale for selling on to florists but it does sound as if it's a bit of a faff!! -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com Shrubs & perennials. Tender & exotics.
