Alstroemeria 'Pierre'Months of flowers from June to NovemberBaby pink with speckled yellow throats, the flowers of Alstroemeria 'Pierre' are a wonderfully easy and long-lasting source of colour for pastel scheme. Though exotic-looking, alstroemeria is far hardier than it looks and will thrive easily in most UK gardens. It is notable for an exceptionally long lifespan, providing decades of bright, bold, summer-long colour in return for very little attention. The ultimate low maintenance perennial! We love seeing the dainty 'Pierre' towards the front of a cottage garden style border with other soft pinks, purples, and whites, such as roses, perovskia, lavender, erigeron, aquilegia and delphinium. Alstroemerias make fabulous cut flowers and are prized by arrangers for their impressive vase life of two to three weeks. Pull rather than cut stems, as this encourages further growth and avoids damage to the crown. For best results grow in full sun or partial shade in most, well-draining soil. We have also found alstroemeria to grow very well in a container. H: 45cm S: 30cm. Hardy to -10?C.
