Alstroemeria 'Louise' – Peruvian Lily

Peruvian Lily

Alstroemeria 'Louise', also known as Princess Louise or Colorita Louise ('Zaprilou'), is a lovely compact perennial with a profusion of pink-purple flowers from early summer into fall. Yellow throats and dark burgundy flecks give the funnel-shaped blooms delightful detail against a bushy clump of dark green, lance-shaped leaves. Its densely branched habit makes it excellent for containers, small gardens, and the front of perennial borders, while its long-lasting flowers are attractive in fresh-cut arrangements. Grow in fertile, evenly moist, well-drained soil with full sun to partial shade, and water regularly during dry weather. Mulch around the plant for winter protection, especially in frosty areas.
