Alstroemeria Yentl

Common Name: Peruvian Lily 'Yentl'

Description: Alstroemeria 'Yentl' is a compact, clump-forming perennial that reaches approximately 30 to 35 cm in height and width. It features narrowly lance-shaped, dark green leaves and produces white, funnel-shaped flowers with ruffled and toothed petals. The blooms, measuring 5 to 6 cm in diameter, showcase a striking yellow center, adding a vibrant contrast. Flowering from early summer into autumn, 'Yentl' thrives in Melbourne's climate when planted in free-draining soil. While it can tolerate partial shade, it flowers more prolifically in full sun. This variety is ideal for garden beds, borders, and containers, and its long-lasting flowers make it a popular choice for cut floral arrangements.
