Notes

'Light Apricot' lisianthus (Eustoma russellianum 'Light Apricot') is an annual for cut flowers, borders, and containers. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full or part sun. Its pale apricot blooms are fully double and ruffled, and they look like roses. The sturdy stems hold the flowers well above the dark green, lance-shaped leaves. The blooms last a long time in the vase.

Pairs well with Calla lily, Stock, and Fountain grass.
