Notes
'Corelli II Pink' lisianthus (Eustoma russellianum 'Corelli II Pink') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and containers. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. The soft pink flowers have ruffled petals, and bees and butterflies visit them. Deer rarely make it their first choice. It also tolerates drought.
Pairs well with Pineapple sage, Gerbera daisy, Lemongrass, and Labyrinth dahlia.
