Good morning! I had planned to watch the podcast but completely forgot about it and missed it. Is it going to be on You Tube later or anywhere else? I have just started growing lisianthus and fallen in love with them. Thanks, Marg
I do open field growing of lisianthus. I’ve been told that high tunnels help to elongate the stems. Want to fact check on that, and understand why. Will a 4’ high tunnel over my beds do the same thing? (And yes, I lost some flowers due to rain spotting. I just don’t want high tunnels in the field as I have event space over-looking my field/beds.)
Can I/should I try to overwinter Lisianthus in 8b North Fla? So looking forward to this class. Thank You!!
That is so generous of you to share your knowledge!
Is there any way to over winter lisianthus in 7a? It would be nice to be able to have blooms earlier.
