Alstroemeria Ivana

Common Name: Princess Ivana Peruvian Lily

Description: Alstroemeria 'Princess Ivana' is a compact, tuberous perennial celebrated for its abundant, rosy pink flowers. Blooming from early summer into autumn, each 5 cm wide blossom features a yellow throat adorned with burgundy streaks on the inner petals, creating a striking contrast against the lance-shaped, dark green foliage. Reaching a height and spread of approximately 30 to 40 cm, 'Princess Ivana' 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 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.
