Description

Claressa Colorita Peruvian Lily is a vibrant and compact perennial that brings a long season of stunning, exotic-looking blooms to the garden and vase. Its flowers are a dazzling combination of golden-yellow with rich burgundy-red streaks and a soft white throat, creating a striking "brushstroke" effect. Paired with variegated green and white foliage, this easy-care, sun-loving plant blooms profusely from early summer well into fall, making it a top performer for borders, containers, and as a prolific cut flower.

Vibrant, Long-Lasting "Brushstroke" Blooms: Produces a profusion of stunning golden-yellow flowers dramatically streaked with burgundy-red and centered with a white throat, from early summer until frost.
Ornamental Variegated Foliage: Features attractive, lance-shaped leaves edged in creamy white, adding visual interest even when the plant is not in bloom.
Compact and Non-Invasive Habit: Part of the improved Colorita series, it forms a tidy, well-behaved clump perfect for the front of borders and patio containers, without the aggressive spreading of some older varieties.
Exceptional Cut Flower: Renowned for its exceptionally long vase life (often 2 weeks or more), each stem carries multiple buds that continue to open indoors.
Sun-Loving and Easy Care: Thrives in full sun to partial shade with well-drained soil. Requires minimal maintenance and is reliably winter-hardy in suitable zones.

Faqs

Q: How do I pick the flowers without harming the plant?
A: Do not cut the stems. Instead, grasp the flower stem near its base and gently pull it sideways and upward from the main clump; it should separate cleanly from the rhizome. This method encourages the plant to produce more flowering shoots.

Q: Is it hardy in my area?
A: Alstroemeria Colorita® series are typically hardy in USDA zones 7-10. In colder zones, they can be grown as annuals or the roots can be heavily mulched or lifted and stored over winter like dahlias.
