What are lisianthus?
According to Wikipedia, lisianthus is a warm-region flower and it's considered a high-end cut flower. It's relatively finnicky to grow and lisianthus blooms grow in groups of 1-2 per stem. Unlike other flowers we've talked about, they have a very small genus of two or three species, so they're considered less "hearty" and have less diversification than other cut flowers.
