Notes
'Corelli III Light Pink' lisianthus (Eustoma russellianum 'Corelli III Light Pink') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and containers. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. The pale pink blooms open in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. Butterflies and bees visit the flowers.
Pairs well with Pineapple sage, Mondo grass, and Totally Tangerine dahlia.
