Alstroemeria Colorita Claressa

Perfect for pots and containers as well as borders and flowerbeds, this Alstroemeria Colorita Claressa boasts glossy rich green foliage and large white flowers that are slightly tinged with yellow and pink. This variety of Alstroemeria has an extended flowering season with blooms lasting from Spring all the way through to Autumn. Faded flowers stems should be cut back to promote further flowering.

Alstroemeria is native to South America and its blooms are somewhat reminiscent of lilies, hence the common name Peruvian Lily. The blooms last well as cut flowers and are said to represent friendship and respect.

These dense flowering plants are easy to care for and don’t require much maintenance. Plant them in a bright spot (they don’t flower well in the shade) that is sheltered from strong winds. Alstromerias will thrive in most soil types, as long as the soil is kept moist and well drained. Water regularly during dry spells to prevent dehydration.
