I will be interested in how the Eustoma or Lisianthus grows for you. I've been considering growing it as a cut flower but I know so little about it and I have never seen it here so I think I would have to raise it from seed.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01080194896492043939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315847063483821430.post-43896662521722606872016-07-20T12:49:26.648-07:002016-07-20T12:49:26.648-07:00Thanks so much for the advice on the Eustoma, Kris...Thanks so much for the advice on the Eustoma, Kris - I'll definitely pay attention ;-) I'm still not sure why it's being sold now when it's much too hot for bedding plants to establish in the garden - perhaps they're just intended for containers! But yours have been so inspiring that I will try them out in the garden once the heat breaks. Too bad about the Duranta and Catananche; they were so pretty in your arrangement!Amy@SmallSunnyGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490564566463354419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315847063483821430.post-13121559573543305332016-07-20T11:53:49.632-07:002016-07-20T11:53:49.632-07:00It's annoying that some perfectly beautiful fl...It's annoying that some perfectly beautiful flowers really don't like life in a vase! The Duranta and Catananche I used in my blue vase this week didn't last long either but fortunately the other contents of the vase have hung on. I'm glad you found some Eustoma! Those I planted as plugs in April are still struggling by comparison to last year's more established plants so you may want to exercise caution and put them in a large pot for now - or try some in a pot and others in the ground. I've found they flower best here in full sun but the plant foliage can yellow and/or burn in intense sun.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.com
