Lisianthus is a perennial herbaceous plant, often grown as an annual in temperate climates. Valued for its elegant flowers, which resemble roses or poppies, it is widely used in the floriculture industry and in bouquet arrangements due to its refined shape and wide range of colors. Native to the prairies of North America—particularly Texas, Mexico, and the Caribbean—it is a decorative plant suitable both for gardens and as a cut flower.
