Eustoma, Lisianthus, Prairie Gentian, Texas Bluebell 'Lizzy Blue' (Eustoma exaltatum subsp. russellianum)
these flowers are stunning jewels!
A new pic of Lizzy's taken this year! We just love them.
This may not be the greatest picture, but these are definately the greatest flowers. I would be so sad if we couldn't find plants each spring. They bloom non-stop, and occasionally winter over for us. This picture is of the Forever Blue Lisianthus purchase from Burpee. And this was it's second year to bloom. Bigger and even better when it overwinters. I have tried the Balboa BlueRim, but enjoy the shorter, bushier plants more. Give them a try, treat yourself, you'll be happy you did. Brinda:)
2nd year with this plant. Cut it back this fall and the size and blooms doubled. Zone 9.
