Hardy Majestic Alstroemeria Collection
Hardy Majestic Alstroemeria Collection
Delightful, colourful blooms all summer and fall!
Also known as Peruvian lily, alstroemeria will delight you with their clusters of funnel-shaped flowers. Each cluster contains up to 15 flowers, and each lovely flower measures 2½" across. The charming blooms sit atop erect stems with linear, lance-shaped green leaves that are 3" long. The flowers make a great, long-lasting choice for bouquets, retaining their beauty in your favourite vase for about two weeks.
A Cold-Hardy Bee Magnet
With their improved cold hardiness, the alstroemeria in this collection will perform from zone 9 to as far north as zone 5! And they attract beneficial bees. The dark maroon markings on the petals of each variety in this series serve as nectar guides for pollinators coming in for a landing. With alstroemeria in your garden, you'll entice more pollinators to your garden and promote the propagation of edible plants we all enjoy, such as apples, pears and plums. Apply 1-2" of mulch in zones 5 and 6.
Your Local Garden Shop Doesn't Carry the Varieties in This Collection
So skip the trip, order from home and enjoy the value and versatility that Breck's provides. The alstroemeria varieties in this collection are low-maintenance perennials you'll enjoy for years to come. These beauties prefer a rich, regular to slightly acidic soil that is not too heavy. Plant in the spring, in a spot with full sun or partial shade, and you'll soon be enjoying an exceptionally long and colourful season of blooms.
This collection includes one each of the following varieties:
- Layon: Its funnel-shaped flowers are golden yellow flushed with red and covered in maroon markings. These striking, long-lasting blooms are ideal for cutting.
- Liré: Exotic and dramatic, Liré is an intensely red flower. Hints of yellow near the centre of each petal give the blooms an extra bit of sizzle.
- Serrant: With warm yellow petals and sepals, Serrant will shine in your garden. Each petal and sepal is delicately brushed with reddish-pink highlights.
- Louis: Brighten any garden bed, border or vase with these exotic, clustering blooms of orange that feature yellow eye zones and burgundy streaks and speckles.
- Henri: The colours of dawn give Henri a tropical glow. Its bright yellow petals rise gently above sepals flushed with hues of pink.
