Colours and shapes
The lisianthus is versatile. It comes in white, green, blue, pink, lilac, purple and salmon. Some flowers even have petals with multiple colours. The petals are very soft and delicate, so make sure to handle with care.
Symbolism
The lisianthus may appear soft and sweet, but the flower has powerful meanings of gratitude, appreciation and charisma. They're a fitting addition in a thank-you bouquet, or as a present to a friend you admire.
Origin
Lisianthus is native to North America, where it grows in desert riverbeds and on prairies. In the states of Texas, Nebraska, Nevada and Colorado they call this plant the prairie gentian.
The modern lisianthus was created in Japan by flower breeders in the 1930s. They developed the wild prairie gentian into the cut flower that we know and love today.
