I personally would call that deep strawberry (with cream) but you be the judge and it doesn't really matter what you call it. Actually, this is my favorite Alstroemeria; red is a rare color among perennials and this one is a very pleasing one at that, easily to combined with other perennials without clashing.

A true TOY of a Peruvian Lily! With loads of flowering stems only 6-12" tall, this long blooming perennial can grow almost anywhere. Give it sun, sandy loam and some summer water and you'll get loads of glowing fuchsia blooms all summer and fall! Too cute for words, these make great, long lasting cut flowers like their taller relatives…but for shorter vases. Let's just call it an Alstroemeria for Munchkins! Mulch in winter.
