I feature pink tinged cream flowers with deep red stripe shaped foliage in the throat of the bloom. I am an Alstroemeria with striking variegated foliage.
I bloom prolifically in all but winter and even then I look great with my naturally tidy rounded form and compact variegated foliage.
I make a great cut flower to be enjoyed indoors.
I may look delicate but I am particularly hardy, tolerating exposed locations and dry periods.
Caution: Skin irritant
