Notes
'Blue Rim' lisianthus (Eustoma russellianum 'Blue Rim') is an annual for cut flowers, borders, and containers. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun. The icy white, double flowers have violet-blue edging and look like roses. They sit on tall, sturdy stems, and the blooms last a long time in the vase. The dark green leaves are lance-shaped and slightly fleshy.
Pairs well with Statice, Totally Tangerine dahlia, and Calla lily.
