Lisianthus flowers (Eustoma spp.) are tender perennials or biennials often grown as annuals. Also called prairie gentian, they natively return yearly in prairies and fields from northern Mexico north to Colorado and Nebraska. Lisianthus plants are about 1 to 3 feet tall, featuring large purple and white bell-shaped flowers with flaring lobes that bloom on one or more upright stems. They can be somewhat finicky to grow and care for but are worth the effort if you like cut flowers. Cut lisianthus flowers can last about two weeks and bloom in summer and fall. Depending on your regional climate, they may bloom in June or July and continue until September or October. Deadheading spurs more blooms. They are celebrated for looking like a rose but lasting longer in the vase.
