Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Certain gold and orange colored Peruvian Lilies (Alstroemerias aurea) gave them a bad name because they can take over your yard and neighborhood. To the rescue comes 'Sussex Gold', which, like all other varieties we offer, doesn't "run" and this one doesn't even seed. The flowers are medium-large (2.5"), open with a light bronze/burnt orange tinge but age to deep, pure gold. You can bank on this one!
