Alstroemeria ‘Andez Vanilla’

Potsize – 1L

Alstroemeria ‘Andez Vanilla’. PERUVIAN LILY. Just like the Alstroemerias you’d buy from the florist but available to pick from your own garden over an amazingly long period. Unlike the old-fashioned Ligtu hybrids, these Alstroemerias are compact, up to 1m, form super non-invasive clumps which just seem to go on and on providing flower stems up until the frosts.. They are probably triploid, hence the vigour and do not seeds. They want a sunny position in rich well drained ground. Hardy to -10oC, perhaps lower if given a winter mulch to protect the roots. ‘Andez Vanilla’ varies in the strength of its colour dependent on the temperature, but is generally a creamy golden yellow, shaded deeper towards the throat and flecked on the inner petals with brown. The reverses are rosy-red, as are the stamens and each petal is tipped pink.
