If you find a sticky mess blob on the end of a stem, that's the seed pod.
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.

The pod should start to split, then they are ripe.

Lisianthus would be a favorite of mine if I could get them to germinate better. I have tried them 3 times, and never gotten more than a very few to make it all the way through to blooms. They are such elegant flowers!
Most of mine always germinate. I start them in December and keep them inside under lights until they are quite tall. I only put 2 seeds in each of the plastic 10 oz cups that I use. I do not put them directly into the ground. They remain in pots. I can take most of them indoors and/or give them away when it get too cold outside. They come back the next year and do bloom a little in the house.
