Firmly grounded in their humble roots, lisianthus may appear as a simple weed when found in the wild but takes on a majestic elegance when added to any bouquet or flower arrangement. 

This simplistic blossom shares similar features to the rose but doubles as a symbol for communicating subtle messages. One could say it is a bloom clothed in mystery…of the finest sorts, of course.

Lisianthus has plenty of core meanings, to name a few:

• It is the birth flower of Sagittarius’ everywhere.
• Represents the joining of two people for a lifelong bond 
• Expressing gratitude for a gift or a favor from a friend or loved one.
• Showing someone how appreciated they are, especially for their social skills or warm, welcoming personality.
• Trying to convince someone you’re charismatic and charming.
• Traditional values and old-fashioned morals.

Lisianthus’ biological meaning, Eustoma, comes from ancient Greece. The ‘eu’ prefix carries the meaning of beauty, while ‘stoma’ refers to a mouth or mouth-like shape. 

The word lisianthus, on the other hand, means ‘a dissolving flower,’ as ‘lysis’ refers to dissolution and ‘anthos’ refers to flower in the Greek language. 

Lisianthus has also come to represent the rising above one’s surroundings and being grateful for everything in your life due to its specific germination requirements and eventual hardy growth as an established plant. 

Also commonly used as wedding flowers, lisianthus can symbolize devotion and long-lasting bonds. [1]
