Alstroemeria Fabiana

Common Name: Princess Fabiana Peruvian Lily

Description: Alstroemeria 'Princess Fabiana' is a compact, tuberous perennial renowned for its striking variegated foliage and profusion of creamy-white flowers. The mid to dark green leaves are elegantly edged with white margins, providing a distinctive backdrop to the blooms. From early summer into autumn, this cultivar produces abundant creamy-white flowers, each flushed with pale yellow and adorned with burgundy-red streaks and flecks on the inner petals. Reaching a height of approximately 30 cm, 'Princess Fabiana' thrives in Melbourne's climate, preferring full sun to light shade and fertile, moist, well-drained soils. Its compact size and dense branching make it ideal for borders, containers, and small gardens. The long-lasting flowers are excellent for cutting, maintaining their beauty in arrangements for over two weeks. Regular deadheading of spent blooms will encourage continuous flowering throughout the season.
