Alstroemeria ?Butterfly Hybrids?

Alstroemeria 'Butterfly Hybrids' - Part of the Alan Titchmarsh Collection

Peruvian Lily
 
  • WORLD EXCLUSIVE
An old strain of Peruvian lilies called the ‘Ligtu Hybrids’ included some great purples, but over the years these got lost. Now only the pinks and purples have been selected to create this eye-catching mix. Your plants will be smothered with butterflies from the moment the blooms open. One of the easiest cut flowers to grow and definitely one of the most impressive. Height and spread: 60cm (24”).
Alan Titchmarsh

Alan Titchmarsh says...

"You should pull the stems of Peruvian lilies rather than cutting them. It encourages flowering for up to 6 months."
