Eustoma 'Cinderella Ivory'
Trial: Annual
Years Trialed: 0
Good Qualities:
Great color (2); Fully double (2); Actually distinct from “White”; Large flower, early; Nice rose bud; Flowers were nice; Tall, strong plants; Good length even out in the field, strong stems.
Problems:
Semi-double, reflexed petals, not white, usual lisianthus disease problems; Possible heat stress early, high 90F in late May; No much second flush, not memorable color; This one was a little shorter than the others, I’m not sure if it is the cultivar or if it was the result of “grower error”; Just didn’t mature (Zone 6).

Comments:
Similar to ‘Balboa White’; Good white to grow; Customers like all lisinathus; I like the ‘Cinderella’ series, strong grower - especially pink; ‘Cinderella’ is a very nice series, plants are tall stems are strong, flowers large and double.
