Notes

'Deep Rose' lisianthus (Eustoma russellianum 'Deep Rose') 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 or part sun. It has fuchsia pink, fully double, ruffled blooms that look like roses. The flowers last a long time in the vase. The sturdy stems carry dark green, lance-shaped leaves.

Pairs well with Totally Tangerine dahlia, Purple sage, and Lemon Grass lemongrass.
