Description of Lisianthus

[Sequin]

"Lisianthus is a half-hardy perennial native to the prairie from Colorado to Nebraska and down to Texas. In the wild it is blue but the well-bred varieties come in blue, lavender, various shades of pink, white, white with a purple center and white with a pink or lavender rim. Its a pretty elegant flower sometimes found in flower shops. Some varieties have doubled petals and look much like roses."
