Eustoma grandiflorum 'Arena III Apricot' F1 (Lisianthus)
- Good for Cutting
These are slow to flower, but truly worth the wait
I’d say this is all set to take the cut flower world by storm. We grew this outside in a sheltered spot, but it’s also happy if you have a spot in a greenhouse or polytunnel.
On occasion we may need to send you an alternative variety to the one shown, which will be selected by our growing team to ensure its suitability. It will be of equal or greater value to the original. Please contact our customer service team if there are any problems.

Care Tips
Best suited to growing under glass but trials show us they will bloom outside. Regular feeding with a balanced liquid fertiliser will help produce the best blooms. Support may be required to keep plants growing upright.
