Alstroemeria Diana

Common Name: Princess Diana Peruvian Lily

Description: Alstroemeria 'Princess Diana' is a compact, tuberous perennial celebrated for its vibrant, long-lasting blooms. From early summer into autumn, it produces a profusion of bright yellow flowers adorned with rose-pink stripes and burgundy streaks on the inner petals, creating a striking contrast against its lance-shaped, dark green foliage. Reaching a height of approximately 20 to 30 cm and spreading 45 to 60 cm, this cultivar thrives in Melbourne's climate, preferring full sun to light shade and fertile, moist, well-drained soils. Its dense branching and compact size make it ideal for borders, containers, and small gardens. Additionally, the blossoms are excellent for cutting, maintaining their beauty in arrangements for over two weeks. Regular deadheading of spent flowers will encourage continuous blooming throughout the season.
