Description: Alstroemeria 'Princess Ariane' is a compact, tuberous perennial renowned for its dense branching and profusion of butter-yellow flowers. Blooming from early summer into autumn, the blossoms are adorned with rosy blushes and dark mahogany markings on their inner petals, adding a touch of elegance to any garden. The lance-shaped, dark green foliage provides a lush backdrop to the vibrant flowers. Reaching a height and spread of approximately 30 to 40 cm, 'Princess Ariane' thrives in Melbourne's climate, preferring full sun to light shade and fertile, moist, well-drained soils.
