Notes
'Black Pearl' lisianthus (Eustoma russellianum 'Black Pearl') is an annual. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun. The fully double, rose-like blooms are dark purple to almost black. They sit on tall, sturdy stems and last a long time in the vase. Bloom time runs from early to late summer and again in early to mid autumn.
Pairs well with Chocolate cosmos, Statice, and Totally Tangerine dahlia.
