Description
Common name: Peruvian Lily ‘Husky’, Princess Lily, ‘Koncahusky’
Lavish sunset-toned blooms perched upon a mound of lance-shaped green leaves characterize this dwarf Alstroemeria, which was intentionally bred to be short and compact with large flowers. The velvety peach, apricot, and lemon tones make these blooms appear every bit as decadent as they sound.
This mound-forming, tuberous perennial is perfect for borders, small gardens and is excellent in containers! Deadhead spent flowers as needed or bring flowers inside to take advantage of their long vase life as cut flowers.
