One of the most special summer flowers we grow is called Lisianthus. Known world wide by florists and used often in Bridal Bouquets these amazing blooms have graced the fanciest venues not only in Tulsa but also around the world!
As the only You Pick Flower Farm in our area to offer Lisianthus we are introducing this special flower to a whole new audience to appreciate in a new and intimate way... in their homes!
They are known to resemble a rose and to have an incredible vase life! Which means that you will get to enjoy this flower in your bouquets for days (maybe even weeks!).
They bloom best late June and early July. They often grow as a spray of stems. Look for a few blooms to be opening before you cut it to have the most enjoyment.
The reason they are considered a specialty crop is that they take forever to bloom. Grown from a seed at the beginning of January and blooming almost 7 months later. They start off growing at a snail's pace. The weeds around them will choke them out if not weeded frequently. But when the heat of summer arrives they shoot up tall and burst open with those amazing blooms we can't live without!
