Eustoma grandiflorum, Swallowtail Garden seeds 2022. Using a blended technique of Winter Sowing and heat mats this year. Will see how it goes. UPDATE December 2022: WoHoo! I had good success growing this lovely Lisianthus using a combo Winter Sowing and greenhouse technique in 2022. I had lovely blooms August - November in 6a SE Michigan. Check out my Winter Sowing blog post if you want to give it a try. Details: WS in Dec-January. Put into the greenhouse on heat mats in March. Place outside in May to grow into full size plants.
Events

February 4, 2022: Seeds germinated (Tiniest little plants growing. So winter sowing with moving to the greenhouse on heat mats works, but what fussing is needed to grow them. SO worth it though!
Will attempt to overwinter these young plants.) March 30, 2023: Seeds germinated (Echo Double Hybrid Mix Lisianthus germinated inside the greenhouse, after winter sowing in January 2023. Seeds from Seeds N' Such 2023.)
