Planting Guide:

1. When to Plant: Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost or sow directly outdoors after the last frost for earlier blooms.
2. Planting Location: Choose a sunny or partially shaded location with well-draining soil. Lisianthus thrives in full sun but can tolerate light shade.
3. Soil Preparation: Ensure the soil is well-draining and enriched with organic matter for healthy growth.
4. Watering: Water consistently, keeping the soil evenly moist during the growing season, but avoid waterlogging as Lisianthus prefers well-drained soil.
5. Maintenance: Deadhead spent flowers to encourage new blooms, and remove any damaged or dead stems to maintain a neat and tidy plant.
