Alstroemeria 'Claire'

Sometimes simplicity is the key to elegance, and the pure white petals of Alstroemeria 'Claire' are testament to this. The delicate, finely ruffled blooms feature just the subtlest of markings, charmingly adorned with pale lime tinge and lemon blush—it’s tasteful, chic perfection! Like most Peruvian lilies, these make excellent cut flowers and this variety has the added bonus of an exceptionally generous flowering season. From June through to the first frosts, the crisp white blooms of Alstroemeria Colorita® 'Claire' will make excellent cutting material which will be a highlight in summer and autumn indoor arrangements or even wedding bouquets. 

The Colorita® series of Alstroemeria are known for being densely branched and compact, so these pretty perennials should not need any staking and their neat form lends itself well to use in containers. Alstroemeria 'Claire' will grow happily in full sun to partial shade, but bear in mind that the shadier the spot, the fewer flowers will appear. The sunnier the better! Regular deadheading will promote more flowers to form, but interestingly, rather than snipping off the flowerhead, cutting the whole stem at the base is recommended as this will trigger the growth of new stems for a full, bushy plant.
