Notes
'Viviana Pink' lisianthus (Eustoma russellianum 'Viviana Pink') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and containers. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. Its pink blooms open in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn, and butterflies and bees visit them. Deer tend to browse other plants first. This pollen-free type grows 28 to 40 inches tall.
Pairs well with Silver sage, Karl Foerster feather reed grass, and Creme de Cassis dahlia.
