Notes
'Rosita 3 Yellow' lisianthus (Eustoma russellianum 'Rosita 3 Yellow') 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. Deer tend to pass it by. It bears pale creamy yellow, rose-like blooms that attract butterflies and bees. It is also drought tolerant.
Pairs well with Snapdragon, Silver sage, Vermillionaire cuphea, and Labyrinth dahlia.
