Eustoma — Everything You Should Know Before Ordering a Bouquet: Secrets from Professional Florists
Lisianthus flowers captivate with the tenderness of their petals curled into delicate buds. Thanks to selective breeding, there are now many varieties of this flower — from miniature to large. Today, florists often refer to lisianthus as "royal flowers" because of their graceful, silky blooms. Most importantly, they can stay fresh for 2–3 weeks! That’s a great reason to choose and order them from BuketLand, where we offer reliable flower delivery across Ukraine.
But let’s take a closer look at why lisianthus is so beloved. It consistently ranks among the top 10 most popular cut flowers in the world — and in Ukraine, it's in the top 5 most frequently ordered!
Our head florist, Svitlana, shares:
“Every third wedding bouquet we make includes lisianthus. It’s the perfect mix of elegance and practicality — it looks amazing in photos and lasts throughout the celebration!”
Types of Lisianthus: How to Choose the Perfect Variety
Remember the wide variety of shapes and sizes?
Classic varieties feature large, open blooms up to 10 cm in diameter — ideal for romantic or elegant bouquets. There are also spray varieties, with smaller or medium-sized flowers arranged on branching stems — perfect for voluminous arrangements.
Best-selling lisianthus types at BuketLand:
Echo — large blooms in a broad color range
Rosanne — spray variety with compact shape and abundant flowers
Picotee — elegant flowers with contrasting petal edges
For warm-season gifts, you’ll find pastel tones like white, pink, lavender, and soft purple.
In autumn — bold hues like red, burgundy, and orange.
Winter options are limited, but white, blue, and lavender are usually available. We recommend Echo — it's especially long-lasting.
To make your gift more personal, consider adding a heartfelt message in a postcard — it brings warmth and thoughtfulness to any bouquet.
The Meaning of Lisianthus: Symbolism and Colors
Although lisianthus is a relatively new star in modern floristry, it has deep meanings.
In Europe, it symbolizes love, elegance, and devotion.
In Japan, it’s considered a flower of luck. Each color adds a specific message:
White — purity, innocence, new beginnings
Pink — tenderness, romance, gratitude
Purple — admiration, sophistication
Blue — loyalty and deep emotions
Green — renewal, balance, well-being
Burgundy — passion and strong feelings
Because of their grace, lisianthus flowers are ideal for special occasions — from wedding bouquets to birthday gifts.
