Notes

'Misty Blue' lisianthus (Eustoma russellianum 'Misty Blue') 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 sun. The double flowers are icy white blushed with violet-blue, and they look like roses. They sit on tall, sturdy stems with dark green, lance-shaped leaves. The blooms last a long time in the vase.

Pairs well with Lemongrass, Tuberose, and Alina rose.
