Alstroemeria 'Glory of the Andes'
Alstroemeria 'Glory of the Andes'
Price: $10.00 In Stock

Quart Pot
This is a very desirable Peruvian Lily which has 3' stems bearing fragrant vivid gold flowers daubed in the interior with maroon. The cream-edged foliage is just a bonus. Spreads slowly but steadily so as not to be scary. Great cut flower but pull the stems rather than cutting as they will last better. Not for dry gardens.

This is a very ornamental Alstroemeria in shades of pink we have grown from wild-collected seed.  This is native to central Chile where it grows at mid-elevations approaching timberline.  It is perfectly hardy for us in the new USDA Zone 8 and should handle lows of single digits with a nice blanket of mulch.  Sizable flowers grouped in an umbel and like all Alstroemeria, possessing a good vase life if you are prone to cutting which we are not.  Quite honestly, we rarely have flowers in the house and absolutely no houseplants.  We do allow plant books but otherwise it is a refugium from the burgeoning phyto-fecundity jungle of the nursery and gardens.  We may have to replace the staff Felco pruners with machetes.  Can you tell it is spring when we are writing this?
