Notes
'Rosanne Green' lisianthus (Eustoma russellianum 'Rosanne Green') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and containers. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. Its gold and green blooms open from early to late summer and again in autumn, and butterflies and bees visit them. Deer rarely make it their first choice. The plant is also drought tolerant.
Pairs well with Morning glory, Bishop of Llandaff dahlia, and Lemon Grass lemongrass.
