Varieties of eustoma by color with names, photos and descriptions!

Introduction

There are several leading companies in the world engaged in eustoma breeding. In the Russian Federation, mostly seeds from these producers are sold, but packaged by local companies.

Because of this, confusion often arises in the names of varieties. Therefore, we will present international names presented on the official websites of breeders. In most cases, varieties are named after a color, and this color is included in several collections.

Eustoma varieties are divided into five groups depending on the timing of flowering.

Group “0” – very early, “1” – early, “2” – middle, “3” – late, “4” – very late. Some manufacturers distinguish four groups, without the “super early” one.

Lisianthus varieties are most often bred from the species Eustoma Russellianus (Russell), formerly called Grandiflorum or Eustoma large-flowered.

White

Series "Echo" (Echo) variety "Pure White". A tall variety (60-80 cm in height) suitable for growing at home and in the garden for cutting. The first group of flowering, large double flower (5-6 cm) pure white.

"Ivory" (Ivory) in the line "Carmen" (Carmen). The color translated is “ivory”. A low-growing variety (15-25 cm) from the popular series of “indoor” eustomas. A simple white flower.

"Sapphire White" (Sapphire white or white sapphire). A low-growing variety for growing at home. Pot 10-20 cm, plant height 13-15 cm, simple flower. Eustoma “Sapphire white” is a real mini rose.

Other varieties

Other popular varieties are all called “White” by default and differ in series. Therefore, we will list the series and flowering groups and if there are Russian names.

• Tall varieties are simple: “White Mermaid” (“White” from the “Mermaid” series), “Piccolo” (Piccolo, 1, 2 and 3).

How to properly care

Eustoma involves growing in compliance with certain rules. So, in April the plant needs to be hardened off. To do this, it is taken out onto the balcony or veranda. Eustoma can be transferred to open ground only after the threat of frost has passed. The distance between flowers should be 15 cm.

The place should be moderately lit, protected from the wind. There should be no quickly heating elements nearby that could burn the leaves of the flower. The soil should be nutritious, loose, well-drained, and consist of a mixture of sand and peat. If the soil is acidic, add ash or lime, otherwise the growth of eustoma will stop.

Eustoma from seeds when grown in pots is placed in light containers that drain moisture well. It is better to take plastic pots rather than clay ones. If the varieties are tall, it is worth providing support, since the flowers are large and the thin stem is not able to support them. Watering is done only with warm water as the soil dries. During the flowering process, the amount of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers is increased, and nitrogen fertilizers are reduced. If the buds have faded, they are removed. During early flowering they can be left to produce seeds.

Eustoma, which is grown as an annual, blooms from July to September. If there is a threat of frost, and the plant is planted in a pot, it is brought into the house. For the winter it is necessary to prune, leaving only a few internodes. Storage in winter is in a pot, the temperature should reach +15 degrees. Watering in winter is rare and fertilizing is not done. After the frost has passed, the eustoma is planted again in open ground.

When growing plants in a greenhouse, cultivation occurs year-round. After the flower stalks are cut, it is necessary to prune, then flowering will occur again after 3 months.

Photo of eustoma in a flowerbed: harmoniously selected neighboring flowers and interesting design

The beautiful eustoma in the garden landscape design as in the photo is a true princess or a harmonious inclusion in the existing landscape. It goes well with many tall flowers, and will also look organic in a stand-alone flower garden.

Eustoma will look good in a flower bed with peonies, petunias or carnations

At the same time, the most suitable landscape styles for it are:

• Dutch, in which everything blooms and pleases the eye. Therefore, there is a place for both tall and short flowers.
• Chinese, in which everyone is short, so short bells are perfect.
• Moorish, which is characterized only by green shades, so a lisianthus bush of a certain variety will not be out of place.

But these are not all possible styles. You can create a kind of fusion, the main thing is the desire to create on your own site and feel harmony.

You can create a luxurious carpet from eustoma by planting several dozen plants together.

In this case, the neighbors of eustoma can be:

• strict and tall gladioli, large-flowered chrysanthemums, dahlias;
• marshmallow-shaped flowers - garden roses, peonies, which will be arranged in the second tier;
• low-growing ranunculus, black-browed flowers and tulips.

Growing eustoma at home

Many gardeners try to propagate the flower by dividing the bush.

After all, an adult plant can hardly tolerate root disturbance. Most gardeners do not take root cuttings, even when using Kornevin and creating greenhouse conditions.

Eustoma care

Despite all the decorativeness of eustoma, it is not too capricious to care for. Even an inexperienced gardener can cope with planting and growing on his own. The main requirements are stable, but not excessive humidity, and temperature changes.

Temperature

The ideal everyday temperature for blooming eustoma is 20-25 degrees. At night the thermometer drops to 15 degrees. To ensure at least a minimal difference in the apartment, move the flowerpot close to the window glass.

Lighting

Eustoma needs a lot of light, but strictly diffused. Therefore, shade the flower from direct scorching rays, otherwise burns will appear on it. To grow a healthy eustoma on a windowsill, choose the western or eastern side.

Watering

Although eustoma copes with heat and temporary drought, it prefers regular watering. In a flowerpot on the windowsill, the soil is not as nutritious and moist as in the garden, so do not allow it to dry out completely. Water the pot as soon as the top layer has dried thoroughly. It is very important not to soak the stem, petals and leaves, otherwise this can lead to fungus.

The soil

You will need loose and well-ventilated garden soil mixed with peat and sand. This way the root system develops better and faster, and the flower grows. At first, regularly moisten the soil with a spray bottle so that it is always slightly wet.

Fertilizers and fertilizing

Like all lushly flowering plants, eustoma needs regular feeding. But there is also a plus: you don’t have to reinvent the wheel, because a simple complex fertilizer is enough. Apply it two weeks after planting and feed the flower twice a month. During the period of active flowering, you can do this a little more often.

Transfer

Eustoma is very rarely transplanted because it has a fragile root system. If you damage the earthen ball, the plant will not take root in the new place and will die. If transplantation cannot be avoided, proceed as carefully as possible using the transshipment method.

Reproduction

Eustoma is a rare garden flower that most often has to be grown from seeds. It is almost impossible to divide it so that the bushes take root, and the roots do not form cuttings suitable for seedlings.

Collecting your own seeds will be quite problematic, but you can use purchased ones. They are small, so they are sold in the form of pressed granules, which increases germination. Plant the seeds in January-March in moist, loose soil, cover with film and leave in a bright, warm place.

Seeds develop faster if they receive at least 12 hours of light, so phytolamps may be needed in winter. Try to ensure a temperature difference from 20-25 daytime to 14-17 night degrees. You will be able to plant the first shoots and transfer them to normal daily care in two weeks.

After another month and a half, with the formation of several pairs of full-fledged leaves, the sprouts can be planted in small pots. To ensure they branch well, pinch off the tops after another couple of weeks. After about three months, the eustoma can be carefully transplanted to a permanent place along with an earthen ball at intervals of about 15 cm.

Wintering

If you want to leave the garden eustoma for the second year, you will have to dig it up for the winter. Carefully transplant the flowers into boxes with a lump of earth, trying not to damage it. Trim off all the leaves and shoots, leaving only a couple of internodes. Move the flowerpots to a cool, dark place with a temperature of up to 14 degrees and reduce watering to a minimum.

Pest and disease control

Regularly treat eustoma with fungicides for prevention. It is very sensitive to excess moisture and is susceptible to fungal diseases. After prolonged rains, use stronger preparations to prevent gray rot.

The most common pests are whiteflies and aphids, against which conventional insecticides help. They love eustoma and slugs, but they will have to be gotten rid of mechanically.

Features of eustoma

The powerful stems of eustoma reach a height of about 100 cm, but they look very elegant. The branching of the stem begins from the middle, therefore, by cutting off one branch, you will have in your hands a real bouquet of up to 35 buds, the opening of which occurs one by one. Matte gray or pale gray leaf blades, as if made of wax, have a lanceolate-oval shape. The flower's calyx is deep and large, funnel-shaped. Single or double flowers reach from 50 to 80 mm in diameter; they are colored lilac, violet, pink or white. In this case, the flowers can be plain or have a contrasting border. A half-open lisianthus bud looks similar to a rose, and after it blooms completely, it resembles a double poppy.

Under natural conditions, eustoma is a biennial, but in gardening it is usually cultivated as an annual. As a perennial, such a flower is grown only indoors. In the garden it can be cultivated as an annual or biennial.

Basic rules for cultivating lisianthus:

1. The plant needs to be provided with diffused but bright light.
2. It grows best in humus made from peat and tree bark (1:1).
3. For propagation, only the seed method is used, because the root system of the bush is very fragile and will not tolerate division, and cuttings do not develop roots.
4. Watering is carried out only when the soil mixture dries to a depth of 20 mm.
5. Lisianthus cannot be replanted when grown indoors. The fact is that in this case it is considered a perennial only conditionally, since its delicate roots will not be able to withstand transplantation.
6. The most luxuriant flowering of indoor lisianthus is observed in a cool and well-ventilated room.
