Princess Lily ~ Alstromeria


Taken in my garden.

Fact Sheet: Best Longest Bloomers

ABC Gardening

People love colour in their garden, and especially plants that flower for extensive periods including plants that bloom for many months of the year, and some that transgress three seasons.

Alstromeria or Princess Lily will flower continually for 10 months of the year. As each flower stem finishes it can be twisted and pulled out of the ground. This encourages new flowering stems to shoot from the underground rhizome.
