Alstroemeria magnifica
Woohoo! An extremely rare & truly magnificent Alstroemeria. We
are so lucky to have gotten our paws on some of the seed brought back
from a recent Chilean expedition. The huge, bright magenta-violet blooms
have a yellow patch above the center & beautiful turquoise blue
pollen on the anthers. With stems to 2’ tall, it makes a superb,
long lasting cut flower. Vigorous & possibly invasive in the garden
- so be warned - put her in a large pot if this will be a problem for
you. Rich, well-drained soil is best. Deciduous & so needs no Summer
water after bloom is finished.
