Notes

'Voyage 2 Light Apricot' lisianthus (Eustoma russellianum 'Voyage 2 Light Apricot') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and containers. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. The large, ruffled apricot blooms attract bees and butterflies. It sits low on the menu for deer. The erect stems reach 24 to 36 inches tall.

Pairs well with Gerbera daisy, Vermillionaire cuphea, Totally Tangerine dahlia, and Lemongrass.
