Notes
'Rosanne 2 Terracotta' lisianthus (Eustoma russellianum 'Rosanne 2 Terracotta') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and containers. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. The ruffled terracotta-colored flowers open in early to late summer. Butterflies and bees visit the blooms. It sits low on the menu for deer.
Pairs well with Stock, Creme de Cassis dahlia, and Lemon Grass lemongrass.
