Notes
'Mariachi Pure White' lisianthus (Eustoma russellianum 'Mariachi Pure White') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and containers. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. Its pure white flowers suit harvest for bouquets, and bees and butterflies visit the blooms. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything.
Pairs well with Pineapple sage, Totally Tangerine dahlia, and Lemongrass.
