Notes

'Voyage 2 Champagne' lisianthus (Eustoma russellianum 'Voyage 2 Champagne') is an annual for borders, containers, and cut flowers. 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. Its large, ruffled apricot blooms suit cutting. Butterflies and bees visit the flowers. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything.

Pairs well with Creme de Cognac dahlia, May Night salvia, and Lemongrass.
