Alstroemeria 'Tamara'

Inject some seriously punchy colour into your summer planting scheme with Alstroemeria 'Tamara'. Intense violet blooms, freckled with black spots and splashed with white, provides a feast for the eyes with riotous colour. If you like growing your own cut flowers, you’ll know that Alstroemeria is a real florists’ favourite. Whilst this boho beauty typically has short stems, it makes a pretty little posy which is bound to bring you a bucket-load of happiness. The stems of Alstroemeria 'Tamara' each bear multiple flowers and, remaining compact, this Peruvian lily isn’t prone to flailing or flopping in the breeze.  

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. Plant Alstroemeria Colorita® 'Tamara' at the front of a border or in containers in a sunny part of the garden for best results. Given a little winter protection, this perennial will grow back every year, each time with more flower stems as the clump gradually grows. You can look forward to a long-lasting display of blooms which lasts for an impressively long time, typically from mid-summer right through to early autumn!
