Design with this plant

Overview

Lisianthus, Eustoma grandiflorum, heralds elegance with its lush, wide-ranging color palette encompassing pastels to deep hues. The ruffled bell-shaped blooms, up to 3 inches across, sit atop slender stems reaching 1–3 feet in height. Preferring full sun, this perennial (often grown as an annual) graces gardens with a long flowering period. It's a drought-tolerant, low-maintenance choice, ideal for cut flowers with their notable vase life. Zones 8-10.
