Care Tips for Your Lisianthus Chateau Blue:

• Light: Needs full sun to bright light (6+ hours daily). In very hot climates: provide morning sun + afternoon shade to prevent wilting.
• Water: Keep soil constantly moist for young starter plants (plugs), but NEVER soggy. Once established: water when top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. Avoid watering on leaves → reduces chances of mold and rot.
• Soil: Requires well-draining soil—essential for lisianthus. Sandy or loamy soil is best. Ideal pH: 6.5–7.0. Poor drainage leads to root rot quickly.
• Temperature & Climate: Prefers 18–26°C during the day. Dislikes extreme heat and humidity. Hardy in zones 8–11 (usually grown as annual in cooler zones).

Benefits of Growing Lisianthus Chateau Blue:

• Adds a splash of vibrant blue to your garden.
• Provides long-lasting blooms perfect for cut flowers.
• Attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies.
