Eustoma 'Twinkle Yellow'

Trial: Annual

Years Trialed: 2003

Good Qualities

Yellow single; Early to bloom, nice size bloom; Nice rose bud; Strong grower; Nice spray type lisianthus, small flower size makes this one great for bouquets.

Problems

Not a good yellow, closer to 'Ivory', flat, reflexed petals, lacks uniformity for height, low branching, poor spray; Possible heat stress early, high 90F in late May; None; All three colors (yellow, ivory, green) very close in color - look-a-likes; Single small flower; Just didn't mature (Zone 6).

Comments

Good; I don't like this variety, it tended to be shorter and the singles aren't as nice; Customers like all lisey's.
