You might know it as Lisianthus, florists often call it by the same name, but most commonly you'll come across it as Eustoma. Whatever you call it, one thing is certain – it's one of the most elegant and long-lasting flowers around today.
It's often nicknamed the "Chinese rose" (even though it actually comes from the prairies of the USA and Mexico). Why? Because its half-open blooms strikingly resemble a rose. Unlike roses, though, Eustoma has one huge advantage: a single stem carries several blooms at once, giving a bouquet incredible volume and fullness.

Care: How to Keep Eustoma Fresh?
Although Eustoma is hardy, it has its own specific needs.
-
Plenty of water: Eustoma has thin but thirsty stems. Check the water in the vase daily!
-
Cutting: Trim the stems at an angle before placing them in water.
-
Watch the leaves: Most important of all – remove any leaves that would be submerged in the vase. Eustoma leaves rot quickly in water and foul it, which shortens the flowers' lifespan.
-
Fragility: Handle it gently. The blooms are long-lasting, but the stems are brittle and can break.

Fun Fact: The Prairie Gentian
Did you know that in the wild, Eustoma grows on the grasslands of Texas and Mexico? That's why it's sometimes called the "Texas bluebell" or "prairie gentian." The full-petaled varieties you see in our e-shop today, however, are the result of intensive breeding that began in the 1980s in Japan and New Zealand. Thanks to this, today's Eustomas have so many petals that only an expert can tell them apart from a rose.
Whether you're looking for an Eustoma mix just for joy, or want to work it into a birthday bouquet, you can never go wrong with this flower.
