Eustoma russellianum displays a wide range of colors and petal patterns, making it a favorite among flower enthusiasts. While the most common hues are shades of blue and purple, lisianthus flowers can also be found in white, pink, and even yellow. Additionally, some cultivars exhibit streaks, ruffled edges, or contrasting color patterns on their petals, adding to their visual appeal. Despite its association with Texas in its common name, Eustoma russellianum is actually native to the grasslands of the southern United States, Mexico, and the Caribbean. It thrives in warm climates with well-drained soil and ample sunlight. The flower was given the common name "Texas bluebell" due to its resemblance to the true bluebell flower (Hyacinthoides non-scripta), which is native to Europe.
