perennial, bulb / corm / tuber
Alstroemeria aurea is a fast-growing broadleaf deciduous or semi-evergreen perennial bulb / corm / tuber with green foliage. In fall, spring and summer apricot, orange and red flowers emerge. Attracts bees, butterflies and hummingbirds making it an excellent addition to pollinator gardens. Grows well with sun - dappled shade and even moisture - low water. Drought tolerant once established. Prefers to be dry when dormant. Adapts to various soil conditions. Does well in average, gritty, rich, rocky and well-drained soil. A good option if you're seeking something heat tolerant and verticillium wilt resistant.
