Flare White Lisianthus

Flare White is an upright lisianthus with medium, double white flowers gathered in sprays at the top of each stem. The blooms open over a short window, creating a bouquet-like cut stem; Ball lists a 36–45 inch stem length and greenhouse or tunnel production for the Flare series ([Ball Seed plant information](https://info.ballseed.com/PlantInfo/?phid=039106930005863), [PanAmerican Seed Flare culture sheet](https://www.panamseed.com/utility/CultureSheetPDF.aspx?pagename=culture.aspx&txtphid=031806212&type=Cut)). ## Flower and Use The Flare F1 series is selected for medium, double flowers that form a spray near the stem tip. Ball lists these cultivars for focal or secondary roles in cut-flower bouquets. The flowers open within a short window, creating a bouquet effect on each upright stem without pinching. ## Growing Use sun for production, with a greenhouse or tunnel for cut stems. Ball lists 36–45 inches of stem length; full-sun outdoor plantings may produce shorter stems than greenhouse crops. Flowering time varies with temperature, daylength, light, season, and growing conditions. ## Maintenance During propagation, avoid media temperatures above 72°F beginning in the second stage because overheating can trigger rosetting and stunting. Support stems in tunnel production as needed, monitor plants for common crop pests and diseases, and harvest when the first flower is fully open.
