My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Looks like a rose, but isn't...

4 years ago

It's a Lisianthus that I grew from seed. I sowed the seeds on Jan 2nd, 2022 and they finally bloomed last week, June 8, 2022. These are Voyage 2, Lisianthus.

    BTW, for those of you who asked, these are Voyage 2 Champagne lisianthus. As for any tips, start them as early as you can. January 2nd worked for me, but I've heard of folks starting them in Nov/Dec as well. Also, I watered them daily with a very low dosage of hydrogen peroxide - 2 cups of water w/1 teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide (3%). Spray twice daily. This made a huge difference in their germination and size. I purchased the seeds from Johnny's Select Seeds and grew the seeds under grow lights from Gardener's Supply. Give it a try. Good luck!
