Notes
'Arena III Gold' lisianthus (Eustoma russellianum 'Arena III Gold') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and containers. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. The rose blooms look like antique tea roses, and butterflies and bees visit them. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. Plants grow 24 to 36 inches tall.
Pairs well with Pineapple sage, Lemongrass, and Labyrinth dahlia.
