Notes
'Solo White' lisianthus (Eustoma russellianum 'Solo White') is an annual for borders, containers, and cut flowers. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. It is a mini, pollen-free type with white blooms on erect stems, and bees and butterflies visit the flowers. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything.
Pairs well with May Night salvia, Vermillionaire cuphea, and Mondo grass.
