Lisianthus, a wild flower of Taxas USA developed by Japanese, I was sure it should do well in Lahore but to my dis appointment the results of various attempts were not to my satisfaction, I don't grow it any more.
Any one who has grown it satisfactorily?
Hamad you must have bought more seedlings or only this one?
