Alstroemeria Kate

Common Name:
Princess Lily 'Kate'

Description:
Alstroemeria 'Kate', commonly known as Princess Lily 'Kate', is a compact perennial celebrated for its striking deep red flowers adorned with yellow throats and subtle red striping on the inner petals. Blooming profusely from late spring through autumn, this variety offers a long-lasting display of vibrant colour. Its lush, dark green foliage provides an excellent backdrop to the vivid blooms. Ideal for Melbourne's climate, 'Kate' thrives in well-drained soils with regular watering and benefits from mulching during winter months to protect its tuberous roots. This plant is well-suited for garden beds, borders, and containers, and its flowers make exceptional, long-lasting cut arrangements.
