Notes

'Lavender' lisianthus (Eustoma russellianum 'Lavender') is an annual with tall, sturdy stems. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun. Its lavender double flowers look like roses and last a long time in the vase. They bloom from early to late summer and again in early to mid autumn. The foliage is dark green and slightly fleshy.

Pairs well with Labyrinth dahlia, Lemongrass, and Ruby rose.
