Celeb and other hybrid varieties share the same parent, prairie gentian, a blue wildflower native to central Texas and the prairie states.

This series dominates the Japanese Lisianthus market, and many cut flowers imported from Japan are Celeb types. Garden visitors will be asking about these incredible flowers, rarely seen outside professional cut flower facilities. For best results, plant Lisianthus in fertile, well-drained soil in full sun.

Lisianthus are generally suitable for fall planting in USDA zones 10 and higher (unprotected), and Zone 9 with additional protection from a hoop house or frost cloth. Any USDA zone below 9 should spring plant their Lisianthus. This is strictly a guideline and we cannot guarantee winter survivability.
