The leaves are opposite, broadly elliptic to lanceolate, almost sessile, the leaf base is slightly embracing the stem; the leaf surface is blue-green. The pistil and stamen are obvious, the bracts are narrowly lanceolate, and the petals are arranged in a tile-like shape. Lisianthus has a variety of colors, including single and multiple colors, with single petals and double petals.

Lisianthus morphological characteristics
Lisianthus is cultivated for one or two years. Opposite leaves, gray-green. Oval, entire.Lisianthus growth habit and growing environment and distribution
Lisianthus loves a warm, humid and sunny environment. More drought-tolerant, intolerant to water and humidity. The suitable temperature for growth is 15-28℃,The night temperature cannot be lower than 12°C. In winter, the temperature is below 5℃, and the leaves are rosettes and cannot bloom. If the temperature exceeds 30°C, the flowering period of lisianthus is significantly shortened. Lisianthus has strict water requirements and likes to be moist, but too much water is also detrimental to the growth of roots. If the water supply is insufficient, the stems and leaves grow thinly and bloom early. Lisianthus is more sensitive to light, and long-day light can help stem and leaf growth and flower bud formation. Loose, fertile and well-drained soil is required, and the pH value should be 6.5-7.0, and continuous cropping should not be avoided. Eustoma flowers need to go through a period of low temperature and bloom in the high-temperature stage. The natural flowering period of lisianthus is May to July. Annual flowering can be achieved under certain facilities and cultivation techniques.
