Pucchino Choco 3 Pelleted (F1) Lisianthus Seed

Product ID:5178P.115178P

New! Petite blooms in a soft antique hue. Conventional seed with conventional pelleting. This seed is not NOP-compliant.

Single-flowering cup-shaped blooms with light rose-chocolate petals and contrasting cranberry/dark maroon center. 1–2" wide flowers have a light wave to the petal edge. Plants are tall and productive. Reflexing the petals (turning them outward) gives a whimsical look that really shows off the bloom color. Flowers almost look like butterfly ranunculus when reflexed. Plots may contain up to 10% light pink or light blue offtypes. The bloom color and flower form of Pucchino Choco complement Rosanne Terracotta and Rosanne Brown as well as rose, apricot, and champagne-colored lisianthus varieties. Single flowers. Pelleted seeds.

  • Plant Height: 24–36"
  • Packet: 50 seeds
  • Avg. 37,500 seeds/oz
