Extra-Large Fringed Flowers

The defining feature of the Corelli Sugoi™ selection is its extra-large, fringed petals.

Corelli Sugoi™ Rose Pink produces impressive double flowers measuring approximately 8.5 cm, giving each stem a luxurious and highly decorative appearance.

The softly ruffled and fringed petal edges create more texture than a traditional smooth-petalled lisianthus. This makes the flowers especially attractive in premium bouquets, bridal work and garden-style floral arrangements.

Group 2 Lisianthus

Corelli Sugoi™ Rose Pink belongs to Group 2.

Lisianthus groups are used to help growers select varieties for different production periods. Group 2 occupies an intermediate position in the seasonal production schedule and is generally suited to conditions between the cooler Group 1 and warmer Group 3 production periods.

The exact flowering period will depend on sowing date, temperature, light levels, day length and growing conditions.

When to Sow Lisianthus

Lisianthus has a long production cycle and develops slowly during its early stages, so early sowing is recommended for cut-flower production.

Sow indoors or under protected conditions several months before the desired flowering period.

The exact sowing date should be adjusted according to local climate, production system and desired harvest period.

How to Sow Pelleted Lisianthus Seeds

Lisianthus seeds are extremely small and are commonly supplied as pelleted seeds, making them much easier to sow accurately.

Fill plug trays with a fine, moist and well-drained seed-starting substrate.

Place 1 pelleted seed on the surface of each cell and gently press it against the substrate to ensure good contact.

Do not bury the seed. Lisianthus requires light for germination.

If desired, apply only a very thin layer of fine vermiculite without completely excluding light.

Maintain a temperature of approximately 20–22°C and keep the growing medium evenly moist.

Under suitable conditions, germination takes approximately 20–25 days.

It is particularly important that the pellet does not dry out after sowing. Keep it consistently moist until the coating has softened.

Growing the Seedlings

After germination, provide seedlings with plenty of light, good air circulation and carefully controlled moisture.

Keep the substrate evenly moist but avoid constant saturation. Good light encourages compact, strong seedlings.

Young lisianthus plants should also be protected from prolonged excessive temperatures, which can interfere with normal development.

Transplanting

Transplant young plants once they have developed a healthy root system and are large enough to handle.

Lisianthus performs best in fertile, well-drained soil with plenty of light.

Avoid leaving young plants in plug trays for too long. Timely transplanting helps establish a healthy root system and supports vigorous subsequent growth.

For professional cut-flower production, support netting is recommended to help maintain long, straight stems.

Growing Corelli Sugoi™ Rose Pink

Corelli Sugoi™ Rose Pink produces stems approximately 70–90 cm long with good branching and impressive large flowers.

Maintain consistent moisture during active growth without allowing the soil to become waterlogged. Balanced nutrition and good growing conditions help produce high-quality stems and flowers.

One useful characteristic of this selection is its reduced sensitivity to tip burn, helping growers achieve cleaner, higher-quality plants under suitable production conditions.

Harvesting for Cut Flowers

Harvest when one or more flowers on the stem have opened, adjusting the stage according to intended use, storage and transport requirements.

Cut long stems using clean, sharp tools and place them immediately into clean water.

The combination of large double flowers, fringed petals and long stems makes Corelli Sugoi™ Rose Pink particularly valuable for professional floristry.

Perfect for Premium Floristry

The exceptional flower size and fringed petals give Corelli Sugoi™ Rose Pink a distinctive appearance compared with more traditional lisianthus.

Its elegant rose-pink colour makes it especially beautiful for wedding bouquets, romantic arrangements, event floristry and premium cut-flower work.

The flowers can act as a focal element in a bouquet while retaining the refined, delicate character for which lisianthus is valued.
