Lisianthus (Eustoma grandiflorum) Plant Spacing Calculator

Eustoma grandiflorum

Start with the source-backed 6-inch spacing default, then enter your bed length and width to calculate an approximate plant count, seeds or starts needed, and the spacing used. Defaults are editable so your variety and growing system can take priority.

Quick spacing answer

How far apart should you plant lisianthus (eustoma grandiflorum)?

Start with 6 inches between plants using a intensive bed layout. The dataset does not provide a separate supported range, so only the sourced default is shown.

Lisianthus (Eustoma grandiflorum) spacing chart

These values come from the existing crop record. The density column is derived planning math and does not add a new horticultural recommendation.

ContextSpacingGeometric plants/sq ft
Dataset default64.00

Plants per square foot is transparent square-grid planning math (144 ÷ spacing²), not an extension-service recommendation or a guarantee of field performance.

Lisianthus (Eustoma grandiflorum) in raised beds

Enter the raised bed's actual length and width in the calculator. It applies the selected spacing and intensive bed model to estimate how many planting positions fit; it does not assume a crop-specific raised-bed recommendation that is absent from the source data.

Lisianthus (Eustoma grandiflorum) per square foot

At 6″ spacing, square-grid geometry equals approximately 4.00 plants per square foot. This is a geometric planning estimate based on the displayed spacing—not an agronomic guarantee. The calculator may use a different documented model for intensive bed layouts.

Why lisianthus (eustoma grandiflorum) spacing changes

Variety, production system, support, and planting layout can change usable spacing. Plantometry keeps the sourced default editable and shows a range only when the crop record supports one.

How many lisianthus (eustoma grandiflorum) plants fit in my bed?

Use the calculator above with your bed dimensions. The result shows the approximate plant count, the spacing used, and seeds or planting material to prepare where appropriate.

Planning notes

  • Horizontal netting
  • Landscape fabric

Cut-and-come-again. A planting keeps producing new stems over a relatively long harvest period when it is picked regularly, so successive plantings are usually spaced farther apart.

  • Support netting is commonly used.
  • Landscape fabric is commonly used for spacing and weed control.
