Common Name:
Princess Lily 'Paola'

Description:
Alstroemeria 'Paola', commonly known as Princess Lily 'Paola', is a compact perennial celebrated for its vibrant, bi-coloured blooms. The flowers showcase a striking combination of pink and yellow hues, with a golden centre adorned with dark magenta streaks, giving each bloom a hand-painted appearance. Flowering profusely from late spring through to autumn, 'Paola' provides a continuous display of colour. Its lush, green foliage forms a neat clump, making it ideal for garden beds, borders, and containers. In Melbourne's climate, 'Paola' thrives in well-drained soils with regular watering and prefers a position in full sun to partial shade. This variety is also noted for its low maintenance requirements and makes an excellent choice for cut flowers due to its long vase life.
