Notes

'Corelli Sugoi III White' lisianthus (Eustoma russellianum 'Corelli Sugoi III White') 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. It bears large, pure white, ruffled blooms that attract butterflies and bees. It sits low on the menu for deer. Gray-green leaves set off the white blooms.

Pairs well with Pineapple sage, Karl Foerster feather reed grass, and Labyrinth dahlia.
