Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Perennial stems to 3’ or a bit more are topped with yellow flowers with rose to purple blotches and burgundy etchings; blooms summer and fall if spent stems are pulled (NOT cut). The perfect stem for the vase, these flowers last a week or more! Good garden soil, full sun, water when dry; these plants don’t need super rich soil or fertilizer, but perform best in a lean sandy soil. Deer don’t touch it our place.

A truly amazing variety that received an award for Garden Merit in England. The flowers are among the largest (3"+), a soft mid-yellow with pink to purple blotches - which are more or less pronounced, depending on conditions - toward the outside of the petals. We put it under USDA zone 7, but feel it shouldn't be less hardy than others.

Always on the lookout for a cheerful yellow flowering Alstroemeria, we were delighted to find this exceptional cultivar at Wisley Botanical Gardens outside of London. The blooms are golden yellow inside, decorated with striking burgundy lines, while the outer petals are like a watercolor sunset, each with a deep purple blotch and pink and mauve tones that fade toward the tip.
